“There is a very foul odor that emits from the A/C unit on my 2003 olds Silhouette van. I'm concerned that this may be some sort of bacterial/fungus growth that may be mainifesting itself in the A/C unit. I don't want people getting seriously ill before some sort of corrective action is taken. What is the best course of action that I need to take? The dealership (earl Oldsmobile, cleveland, oh) is not taking this problem seriously. Please advise, thank you.”
