AC PROBLEMS IN MY 2013 YARIS - Toyota Yaris Forums

Do you mean the dealership cleaned the "cabin air filter" located behind the glovebox? Were you given an opportunity to personally smell the filter after it was "cleaned" before they put it back in?

Maybe they should have replaced it with a new one, like in this YouTube vid:

Of course there's always the chance that some moisture has caused mildew buildup somewhere inside your vent tubes.

Do you know if the smell comes out during A/C only or whenever the internal air fan is active regardless of A/C. Or how about trying recirculate versus fresh air ... any difference you can smell?
