the AC smell gone bad!
I noticed that my car smells terrible when the AC is on. It is worse when it is hotter. I was going to ignore it, but after few days I can't stand it! What is wrong with it? Should I take my car to the dealer and get it fixed?

Don't forget to spray anti-fungal/bacterial spray (any autoparts store should point you in the right direction) into your unit before putting in a new filter. Condensation formed inside your vents and rapidly warmed down (by turning your car off, A/C off, etc.) causes this. I had the same problem in my VW and changing the filter alone does not solve the problem. Another way to work around this as a preventative method is to never keep your air recirc. button on at all times, instead, keep a steady amount of fresh air entering the cabin.
