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. *AK
