Camry 4-cyl

My wife's 2001 Toyota Camry has an air conditioner odor. We have been lead to believe that it may be caused by the A/C getting too cold, freezing up, and actually causing mold in the A/C system. She has driven the car for 2 1/2 years and now has cancer. We have been unable to do anything to rid the car of the odor. Doesn't exposure to mold, if so, cause health problems? we spent a year trying to locate an odor in the car. Replaced mats, detailed the upholstry, etc.

When the air conditioner is running and I am stopped at a stop light the break pedal will drop approximately 1 inch in about 1 second. This has occurred on numerous occasions since I purchased the vehicle. It is an unsafe condition and somewhat scary. I reported this to the dealer and they said that it is normal. I find this incredibly hard to believe. I asked them for documentation to prove that this behavior is normal but they would not produce anything.

Vehicle stalled at 60 mph. Dealer could not find a cause. The A/C and the fun selector malfunctioned, but the dealer was unable to fix it. The vehicle starts and stalls immediately. The dealer installed a new circuit opening realy and the problem was solved.
