Weird smell on start up...

Ok. I know there was something posted on another thread but I could not find it. This moldy smell is coming through my vents. Any clue as to what it is? Thanks in advance for any help.

but on a serious note... if you google around, you'll read it's a common thing... maybe more so because of the humidity in texas these days... but the smell is coming from moisture that builds up in your ac or something like that...

i forgot what all they recommend for it... i think one was to run your ac like you normally do, but turn it off a few minutes before you reach you destination... (honestly, i don't know how this is possible in the texas heat) ... then there was something about changing out the cabin filter...

i think i've also read that if you take it to the dealership, they'll do something and take care of it under warranty...

Replace the air ventilation filter.
