Bad Smell in Air Filter or A/c
Hi -- in both my brand new TCH as well as my 2007 regular Camry, I get a bad sweet smell which often comes from the air filter and/or a/c. This must be a common problem. Does anyone know what this is so I can have the dealer fix it? Thanks!

Anyone have there owners manual handy?

Hi --- unfortunately, I still get the same smell sometimes. I think there must be a flaw in the air system (I noted that the Camry uses a new ozone air system made by Sharp), and it seems as though water must be pooling somewhere and generating bacteria.
I'll keep mentioning it to my dealer!

I also get a funky odor from the vents once in a while. I haven't paid enough attention to find out exactly what circumstances create the odor (a/c vs no a/c, fresh air vs recirculated air, etc...)

Mine only does this when the A/C function has been off for a while, and was then turned back on. If I leave the A/C on all the time, I never smell anything.

My car has 5,000 miles. The funny smell that I get smells like sweat or smelly water. I only get the smell as I first start up the car and the A/C. I'm experimenting with using the fan to blow out any moisture before turning the car off as suggested above. Will post an update on my results.

Mice or leaves? Thanks for the technical support, local dealer...
