Do you guys also have that problem, where sometimes under certain conditions, the a/c starts smelling funky, and other times it doesnt. It's starting to get annoying but perhaps there's something that needs to be cleaned out or a filter that needs to be changed, any idea?

start up the car turn on the AC put it on fresh air so It will pull in the air from the vent under the windsheild wipers. Spray lysol in that vent and your ac will suck it in and kill the mold. ;)

Or you can take it to a nissan dealership and have them replace all the AC ducting :rolleyes (this reminds me of what happend to moms durango...)

Yeah I think the Lysol method is cheaper:D

Or you can try some antybacterial can spray from your Pathmark or somthing. It worked for me. (try Lysole, or Chlorax)Spray it in your duct sysstem wile ranning Fan on max. PS. Make shure that spray enters your system.

No mine never stinks but sometimes it blows like a steam or something out of the vents... kindof disturbing cause you think you are getting gassed or something.

hehe, that would be scary to all of a sudden have a mist of gas start to come in through the vents!

I had dead bird stuck my radiator of my truck. I flew into, well, I guess I actually hit the bird , but none-the-less it went through the grill, not much of a grill and into the radiator beack first. I noticed while cleaning the truck one day and determined that that was the horrid smell I had been smelling for the last 3 weeks.

this reminds me of my buddy having a bunch of mice making a nest in his Z32, I think he went postal and left a jar of amonia and bleach in it over night, that got the little suckers

I remember goind down the road and getting hit with a bunch of grass and stuff from the vents
