Inside smells really bad

It's not going to clear out entrenched mold though.

 

If only there was a cleaner made specifically for this problem... ideally one used successfully for decades...

 

I would take it back to the dealership and ask the service manager to take it for a longer test drive with you in the car.

Hard to say if that’s mold unless you test it. It reminds me of the dust issue I’m having in my apartment. Fairly new building. Each apartment has its own HVAC system. My apartment gets so dusty. They change merv 13 filter every 3 months and filter looks clean. Something isn’t right but they won’t do anything about it.

I googled “car smells like wet dog but no dog”. AI gave a list of possibilities. Hope this gets resolved.

 

have you asked friends and family if they could smell anything?

 

The smell is mildew on the evap. It happens in homes, cars and airplanes. Flowing air from the oldside brings in microorganisms. It is generically known as dirty sock syndrome.

 

Yes. The AC should be under warranty. Unrelated but I’ve heard of two people needing their AC compressor replaced under warranty on their Gen 5s.

Do you have an auto AC specialist in your area? Maybe have them smell it. Independent mechanic etc. Get as many people to smell it as possible so you feel confident about the issue. For a Lemon Law claim you’ll need as much documentation as possible.

I’m typing and it’s not showing up once I save it. Driving me nuts!

 

On a phone, in particular an iPhone, you need to refresh every time you open an edit window, and refresh when viewing the edit after saving. It’s a Priuschat bug, been going on about a year, reported, fwiw.

worst scenario is when you do multiple edits: it brings up the previous edit, until you refresh. Not refreshing, doing an edit and saving, you wipe out the previous edit.

yup, for about a year now…

notice how first letter of every paragraph is not capitalized? Another Priuschat feature.

refresh button, at least on my iPhone:

 

Yes! Thank you for describing it perfectly. I’ve been hitting refresh but that last post was a nightmare. Hit refresh and correction would disappear. : /

 

Yeah whenever you commence an edit, refresh before doing anything else. The first edit it may not be needed, but any subsequent edits it’s mandatory.

absurd situation, absentee landlord, ONE moderator who’s hands are tied, yeah…

ugh, I’m getting started, lol. Better go start breakfast.
