Hi everyone,
I'm new to this and have never posted anything on here so bare with me please.

I just bought my 2008 Santa Fe about 6 months ago, and this past week I started getting a musty odor smell coming thru the a/c vents in my car. It gets really bad when I turn my a/c on, and it won't go away. I called the dealership and they said I should get a new hepa filter put in my car and that it should be replaced once a year. Since I just got this car a few months ago I don't see how I can already need a new filter.

Has anyone had any problems/smells from their a/c vents?

Thanks!

 

It's a 2008, which means it was built one year ago.

You can replace the filter yourself and save $$$.

1.
Open the glove box (B).
Lower the glove box down completely by removing the glove box stopper (A) to the glove box.
