Does anyone have this problem? Every time i turn on my car and the fan is on, it lets out a nasty musty smell. I took it in the the Stealer and they claim they deodorized the car but i still keep on getting that smell when i turn on the fan or AC. Does anyone know how to get rid of this nasty smell?

It can only be avoided if you turn off the A/C five minutes before turning off the engine and use the vents w/o A/C instead.
The condensed water stays in the system and that causes the problem.

use the air freshener than mounts on the vents, both smells blend together, it isnt so bad!
Is there a air freshener that gives out a smell of the new car smell when we first bought our cars ?
