My car has a moldy smell coming from the vents and I'm worried about it affecting my baby.

I took it to the dealer to have them clean out the vents but the guy said he couldn't find the return vent under the hood to spray.

Anyone have any idea where this is at so I can do it myself?

I don't know where the return vent (if there is one) or your cabin filter are located, but you could always spray from the cabin back into the vents (with the a/c off that is ). My wife's saturn had the same problem. I sprayed Lysol disinfectant spray (it kills molds) into the vents and no more smell or mold. hope this helps.

I'll give that go and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion
