No, I don't have that particular one. Is it a low rolling resistance tire? Curious question... where is your car parked? In your garage? Is there a refrigerator or furnace in your garage with ozone-producing motors?
bad, musty smell coming from vents
by mayroge on Sun Jul 20 15:46:17 PDT 2008
Recently, we have noticed a foul musty odor coming from the inside vents when starting the car and the fan is running, in our 4 cyl 2007 4-door Camry LE, which now has about 5900 miles on it. The bad smell goes away after several minutes, but returns each time after we turn off the vehicle, for say more than an hour and then start it up again. We are geographically located where high humidity exists most of the year. I took it to a Toyota dealer, and the service reps basically told me I should NOT be using the recirculate position on the fan when I park the car and shut off the engine. They did check the cabin A/C filter and said it was not the source of the smell. They said that because of the design of the evaporator box in the Toyota A/C, the box will accumulate moisture if the air control is left on re-circulate when the car is turned off. Switching to recirculate several seconds before shutting off the engine will allow the box to drain moisture properly. At first, they didn't even want to write up a ticket, but I insisted on it, so it would be documented for Toyota (and us). At least they DID keep the vehicle overnight and used an "ozone machine" on it for several hours the next morning, which was supposed to kill all the bacteria or whatever was causing the odor. I am grateful that the dealer did at least take this action. While I cannot dispute the reasoning to use "fresh air" prior to shutting off the car, I feel like Toyota has once again settled for mediocrity (just like the transmission hesitation issue). What bothers us most is that we have only had the vehicle for a little over a year, while we have had OTHER vehicles for 8-10 years, parked them in the same garage, ran them in the same environment and had NO issues like this, even though we never concerned ourselves with switching the air control, like we NOW have to do with the Camry. Has anyone else had this issue or found a TSB for it? I am trying to get an idea of how wide-spread the issue is.
Incentives to save gas

Here are a few more ways to get people to drive smaller and fuel efficient cars and avoid using boats... again, I think they are all doable, we need to have the will to do it. [1] Teach the children (at school and at home) the following: A. People who drive gas guzzling vans and SUV's with only 1 or 2 people on board are incarnations of evil - they want to consume all the resources of earth and leave little for you, the posterity. B. People who take out speed boats on lakes and oceans really belong to a secret club - they are nature haters and their sole purpose of life is to destroy the ozone layer. You cannot do anything in a boat other than to stare at the water all around and the sky, right? If they want fish, they could just go to a supermarket. C. Rally driving and car racing are for wimps - what they do can also be done from the comforts of an air conditioned room pressing a few buttons. You want to show off your manliness - get off those gas engined 2000HP machines - get onto the saddle of a single horse and show off your skills at the rodeo. The more kids get it and complain to their parents, people will be buying smaller cars. Thats IMO, no offense to anyone. [2] At the parking lots of office buildings and grocery stores, make wider spaces for SUV/Vans at rows furthest from the entrance. Have shaded parking for compact cars close to the entrance (I know if they actually do this, I will not even consider an SUV for my next purchase). At multi level parking lots at the malls, make the SUV/minivan driver park on the roof in the sun and climb a few flights of stairs to the gate. [3] Issue "Efficient Vehicle" stickers to fuel efficient cars after testing and let them drive in the HOV lanes at 10mph faster than the other lanes. Make more HOV lanes, and let the larger cars/vans/suv's idle on the remaining lanes (In Dallas, we refer to the Fwys as "rush hour parking lot"). So you see, we can have lots of incentives, but the main question is, "Do we really want to reduce our gas consumption"? Best wishes, - MS.
Re: 2006 nissan Murano s AWD [kaerrol]

I don't know where you are on Long Island, but I used Giant Nissan of Queens in Ozone Park (easy ride from the Belt Parkway). I got a Murano SL no money down for 437/month, maybe not the greatest deal, but not too bad from what I've read. All the salesmen are easy to work with, it may be worth your while to take the ride into Queens.

There are health effects: * ethanol itself will break down into highly toxic constituents (acetaldehyde and peroxyacetylnitrates [PAN] ), and Pennsylvania has yet to assess the effects of public exposure. * Air toxics and ozone precursor pollution emissions into the air will increase if ethanol replaces current oxygenates in gasoline.

Re: Does AC Blow Cold Enough For You? [bradesp]
by f4phantomii on Mon Sep 05 16:23:50 PDT 2005
I must say, that is probably the one deficiency that my '99 Trooper has. I live in GA, also plenty hot and humid as it is in NC. It's never been what I'd call a "cold" A/C, but it will cool down the interior. It just takes a while if it's been parked in the full sun for several hours at 95+ temps. My Trooper came standard with rear tint, so I'm uncertain if it helps or not....I guess it can't hurt. Of course, I've not thought an automobile A/C has been "cold" since about 1995 when they switched to the ozone friendlier refridgerant. I'd say based on my experience, on a good hot day, it takes approximately 10-15 minutes of the air on full blast and recirculating to cool the front seats down to a reasonable temp, and takes about 30-45 minutes to cool the whole interior down. After that, it certainly is capable of keeping the interior cool and comfortable the rest of the drive. Enough that my wife and I usually turn it to outside air, low fan speed, and turn it to a warmer temp so we aren't cold. If you are one of those people who sleeps with your home Air Conditioning set on 65 degrees and break into a sweat rushing to answer the phone, you probably want to look for a vehicle with a beefier A/C system. -Michael
