We've got that same smell in my wife's Camry and it has a filter. gonna take it back to the dealer. The remedy is probably pouring some kind of bleach solution down the air intake vents from the outside.
Sorry I couldn't help.

We've got that same smell in my wife's Camry and it has a filter. gonna take it back to the dealer. The remedy is probably pouring some kind of bleach solution down the air intake vents from the outside.I have an '05 DC with 34,000 miles on it and I know that there is no cabin air filter but I was wondering if anyone else notices a musty smell from their A/C every now and then. Is there something that can be done to remedy this ? I had an '00 Chevy and changed the filter regularly to eliminate the odor but I'm not sure how to handle this one.
Thanks for any information you guys might have ... and Go Horns !!! Final Four Baby !!!
I agree. This works for me.I think the moldy smell is from moisture condensing on the cool ducts after the AC is used. For any car I drive, I always turn off the air conditioner OFF a minute or two before reaching a destination and turn the fan on high fresh air (not recirculate). I noticed that pretty much eliminates any musty smell. I've also done the Lysol spray on a Corolla and it helped for a while.
I pulled the HVAC blower last month to clean it.

Ditto. Do this every day for a week, then periodically thereafter. Makes a big difference.I think the moldy smell is from moisture condensing on the cool ducts after the AC is used.
