| Description of the problem | My 2014 camry has less than 20,000 miles on it and i am about to be on my 3rd cabin filter due to a moldy smell in my car. I bought this car for my wife brand new and i have complained to the dealership multiple times about this issue. They have accepted the fault and in april of this year they replaced the cabin filter free of charge. Less than 6 months later it has gone bad again, the car smells moldly and my child and wife are surrounded by this moldy smell whenever the a/c is on. I have filed a complaint with toyota with the request for them to buy-back this vehicle from me as every other vehicle i have owned doesn't need a cabin filter until 50-60k miles. Toyota has acknowledged this issue and fault. I was advised to place a complaint at this time here since this odor is effecting my families health. Toyota has been slow returning my calls and has advised me that this process will take over 30 days from here. |
