I am battling with the dealer on this very issue. They "disinfected" the system twice ($89+ each) and deodorized it once (no charge) all within the last 12 months. I recently found out that there is an air condition filter...NOT the regular air filter OR the cabin filter!!! I understand that mold and mildew builds up in there and need to be cleaned. Problem is, it's a big job and COMPLETELY under warrantee. I believe they are dragging their feet waiting for my warrantee to expire...hence the battle! Hope this helps!
It will smell and may have mold on it. The mold can be yellowish in color.
by its smell
Yes , it does have an aroma & it is bad for you when you smell too much of it . you can get sicker from smelling mold spores in your house .
It's probably mold. You can buy chemicals that are added through the intake that might fix it.
Mold Busters was created in 2005.
Depends on what the smell is? Can be many things including mildew or mold in the HVAC system.
it'll smell kinda funky.
You need to find source of the smell. Most likely it's somewhere around A/C evaporator. There are different things you can do about that. First one is use one of those anti-odor sprays (~$10-20). They work very well if the drain plug is not clogged. Second is to clean the evaporator. It will require a lot of work, and if you are not a do-it yourself gut, it will cost a lot of money too.
It can be a sign of mildew or mold.
It is most likely from mold in and/or under your upholstery.
Certain types of mold are very harmful to the body. If you see or smell signs of mold, you should leave the area and call a mold inspector to come into your house.
You could be smoking mold and likely are inhaling mold / mold spores. It's a bad idea.
