| Description of the problem | When using air conditioning mold accumulates on the condenser due to water not drying out and that mold/mildew is then blown thru vents when turning air conditioning on and i am inhaling toxic mold. Toyota is aware they've had thousands of internet complaints and at deal on hvac and refuse to call it a defect despite the health hazard effect. Apparently camry has class action law suit started re: this. I fear for my health with this and others in my car smell this as well. This has been ongoing problem since i purchased car and bcd and forth to dealer. |
