We noticed a smell of mold or swamp water coming through the A/C vents that lasts for 15-30 min post initial start up. Dealer advised there is a catch pan for the condensation and the air is blowing across said pan and this is where the smell is coming from. Dealer advised to always start A/C system with the recirculating button off, as to dry that catch pan before using recirculated air.

Second complaint at various times especially when you are accelerating to get into traffic or onto the freeway, we get and over whelming smell of exhaust fumes. Dealer could not find an issue nor had a resolution.
