Where I live the A/C is on from April to November. I have recently started to get that moldy odor from the vents when I first turn on the vehicle.

Are there others who have experienced this? Did you have the dealer fix it? Do you know of another fix?

Thanks

The vehicle has spent 3+ weeks at the dealer for various things. Nothing major. I just don't want it to disappear for another week if I don't have to.

Yes. Same thing with all other vehicles whether it be ICE or EV.

Basically before shutting it off run the AC with exterior circulation vs interior circulation.

Also check/replace your interior cabin filter, easy to do. It's behind the glove box.

Hello! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this odor concern? Thank you!
