Nope, I didn't hear anything like that at all.

Did you use the A/C at all in October after they said they cleaned out the fresh air box. If not, my thinking is it's just not there anymore because the air is getting colder and the mold is not active at this time. There are a lot of us with this problem. Go over to the Fusion Hybrid forum on this topic to read more. Here is the link: http://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/5344-cooling-system-stinks-up-car-even-in-winter/

Well mold needs moisture to "activate." So I'm guessing when the water, humidity, whatever is not present then the mold goes dormant. Then when that mositure comes back, so does the smell.

My Fusion was built in April, is that your build date as well? I wondering if it's limited to a certain batch of cars made in April.

Possible mold in the hvac system is a serious health issue. I don't see how it would be a problem to get lemon law protection for this.

Well, the smell is back. So that "fix" doesn't seem to work.

I have posted over on the Fusion Hybrid forum. My dealer has been in contact with the FSE and Ford and a few other dealers. The "fix" they did to my car involved spraying a special epoxy onto the a/c evaporator. The epoxy hardens and is supposed to create some kind of insulation I guess to stop excess water from building it. The epoxy also has a anti-microbial in it that inhibits any mold/mildew growth. I've had the car back from the dealer for a few days and haven't had the smell. It is cooler than it has been in the summer though, but I have been running the a/c some. Time will only tell if this is a fix.

Of course this has to be something covered under warrantly. I've had my car 4 months and it smells like a wet dog with the a/c on or with only the vent on. There is something wrong with the build on certain cars for this to be happening. I've seen quite a few others with the problem in this car over on the Fusion Hybrid forum. I've never had this problem with any other car. I've had my car in for serivce twice for this. Both times they said they sprayed the mold/mildew solution in the car (I believe it's Fridgi Fresh), only for it to come back the day aftrer I get my car back. It is to the point where I can't have people in my car because I'm too embarrassed by the smell. I can't even take it myself, I have to drive without a/c or with the windows down in the heat.

Yeah sorry I just saw those numbers looking back. I would love to switch out the wheels like you did, but you got a great deal. Maybe down the road these wheels will start hitting ebay at a lower price. You should take off the black decals on the center of the wheel to show the Ford logo. Although your car is black so it does go well.

Do you have adaptive cruise or park assist? Do you know if the new wheels will affect those? I also wonder about the speedometer being off once larger wheels are put on.

Could I get a status update at your convience. Thank you!! 3FA6P0RU3DR286000
