I should mention as well that if I just use the vent all day, there is no smell that can be noticed. However as soon as I turn on the AC the smell gets so bad for about 30 sec to a minute that it is unbearable, it actually is making my eyes water. Is anyone else having this issue.

Hi All, new to this forum. Have 2013 Fusion Hybrid for 9 months now and last week the AC started stinking which led me to you guys. I don't think humidity has much to do with the issue as I live in Livermore CA and has not rained here since April and we are very dry area. I have not made an appointment with the dealer yet but planning to next week, I did wash my car the other day and made a point to open the hood and run the hose into the vent openings at the rear of the engine compartment near the window. I let the water run through there for about 5 minutes and it made a difference for about 2 days but now the smell is coming back. My car was ordered in November of 2012 and delivered to us in Feb 2013.
