My new, one month old 2020 Toyota Corolla has a sour smell. I was searching for a solution because I thought I had spilled something into the AC vents, and I also thought it was the steering wheel cover, but the smell didn't come on every time I enter the car, it only happens when I turn on the AC. Most cars have a weird musty smell when it come to aging, but my car was brand new and it already gathers mold and mildew? And I'm pretty sure this isn't covered in the Toyota warranty. I'm very annoyed and concerned with how many complaints they have had about their smelly AC's but pretends it doesn't happen and not fix it. I'm also very pissed off that this is happening to a ONE MONTH old car!! What?!?! Anyways, I will be visiting the dealership on my next day off, but will probably not have anything done from the dealership unless I cough up some absurd amount of money to fix this issue... I feel betrayed by Toyota.
This is the next day. I still can smell the mold today. I don't think this is going away any day soon. Very disappointed in Toyota for having this design... they need to change this design now. Again, this is ONE MONTH into owning this car...
