Hey guys,
Posting this to try and find a solution. I have a 2016 GT and a while back I took my car for AC repair and the dealer ended up changing the evaporator because it was leaking. A few days after getting the car back I noticed that when I would drive by and are with distinct odors(dump, area with sprinklers that smell like crap when they turn on, behind a diesel truck), I could smell it inside the cabin. At first I though that it was normal since its not a high end car but after talking to other owners, I realized it should not be as strong as I get them if any at all. I took the car back and they cleaned the air-box and changed the cabin air filter but that didn't fix the issue. The last time I took it in, the technician couldn't find anything so nothing got fixed. Every time I get an odor, I check the recirculate button to make sure its on.
At this point I know it has to be either a bad seal somewhere or faulty or broken recirculate door/blend door that was probably missed during the evap replacement since that's when it all started.
Any ideas as to where/what to look for? Haven't gotten a chance to look under the dash but want to see if anyone has dealt with this and if there is anything specific I should look for.
