Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Purchased new 2014 toyota highlander in may 2014, after approximately 30 days of ownership a foul odor began to emit from a/c unit whenever vehicle was started. After 3 trips to selling dealer to correct the problem i was given toyota t-sb-0142-13 which informs me that there are 23 toyota vehicles which may experience this problem. Dealership attempted to place blame on various items but, since toyoya published a tsb it leads me to believe that toyota knows about the problem but is not wanting it to become known as it might impact their selling vehicles. My a/c experience leads me to believe the problem is caused by an improperrly designed a/c system which is failing to drain all the moisture from the a/c system thereby allowing mold, mildew, algae to grown in the undrained left over water in a/c system.
