that is pretty much normal, sorry to say....

what it is is that when you run ur car with A/C, condensation builds up in the vents and pipes... after you turn off the A/C, it still stays wet, so that turns into a form of mildew... you can buy sprays that will clean and sanitize those vents... some are applied from the inside through the vents, others are applied from the outside through the air ducts...

you might even be able to go to the dealer to have them clean it out for you.

Try turn on the Heat to the maximum and let it blow at full force for 10 minutes. It will help a bit.
