Description of the problem | Not long after the purchase of my 2016 tucson, probably when i first started using the ac the first summer i owned it, i started to get some musty smells coming from the vents. This problem has gotten worse each year and changing the cabin air filter doesn't seem to help. I have never had a problem like this with any other car, and i have been driving cars for 40 years. The smell seems to pop up in humid weather when using the ac. I worry that the evaporator coil may be growing mold or microbes. |
