Oh my god.

Just put the heat on for the first time this year and had to pull over to get out and gasp for air. I kid you not. I'm lucky in that I only have 4 kilometers to work.

I put the A/C back on and let the car run for about 2 minutes with the fan on high. The smell passed.

When I got home turned off the A/C and turned up the dual temp controls and yeoweeeeeee!

What could this be? Doesn't the air for a/c and heat use the same vents???

Thanks in advance for any tips. I won't be using the car this weekend so I'll leave it at the dealership so they can check it out first thing Monday morning. Hope it's warrenty.

Brian,
Try spraying Lysol into the air intakes below windshield. The cause is most likely mold bouild up. This worked for my air conditioning smell.
