Ever since I purchased the vehicle, while using the A/C, I have noticed a bad oder.his oder is noticable once the A/C has cooled down the interior. I would describe he oder as a "powdery chemical" smell. When I took the vehical in for routine maintainance, I asked about it and was told "we wil look in to it" and the problem is still unresolved. I want to know if this smell is dangerus because I have two young infants as well as my wife I am concerned about.
