Description of the problem	I purchased the 2013 rav4 in april, 2013. Within a few months, i began to smell an odor coming from the ac when i start the car. The dealership states that the box that holds the ac condensation is too small due to manufacturing changes. On my second trip to the dealership with this complaint, they sprayed ac freshener in the part underneath the car. This helped with the odor but only temporarily. I am concerned that what i am breathing is mold and that this will only get worse as long as i keep the car. I believe this could harm my health over time. The dealership rep stated that this is a problem on these cars from time to time. I like my car (my 5th toyota) but i would not recommend it to anyone due to this issue.
