Hey guys. I have a 2020 HA Sport 2.0. I noticed last summer that the AC has a nasty stench puffing our of the vents whenever I turned it on. I was advised to occasionally turn on the fan full force for a few miles, in order for the condenser to dry up any kind of moisture that would ordinarily sit and cause mildew to grow. I started doing that occasionally (once or twice a month) as recommended and didn't really have the issue return.
Well now that summer is almost here again, my AC is doing the same exact thing, but, I need to blast the air on fan only every single day, otherwise the AC will stink the next day I run it. I honestly can't remember having this issue with any other car I've owned.
If I forget to run the fan at full bore the day before, the stink is so bad that my passengers get disgusted and this is very embarrassing. I have changed out the cabin air filter and that had no noticeable difference whatsoever. I resorted to buying Fabreeze air refreshers and clipping them on the vents so the stink isn't too bad if I forget to run the air (AC off and vent opened) full blast.
At this point I'm getting pretty frustrated with the whole ordeal. I can't understand why this is even a big deal. However, I also can't ignore the fact that my AC smells like it's pumping out feces scented air each and every time.
At this point, is it worth a trip to the dealership to have it looked at? Is there anything they can do? Has anyone else ran into this issue?
Thanks in advance.
