“Car has a problem with mold in the condenser and a odor that can't be corrected. Problem is when the air conditioner is running., and becomes a problem to my breathing. After looking on line it seams to be called dirty sock syndrome. This was also smelled in the rental Equinox that was provided. This is a health risk to people with breathing problems as I have.”

I have my car at the dealer right now for 4 days.
