I have noticed when it is raining or has rained if I run the AC or even possibly without the AC the inside of the car will get a film. The front window will fog up and your hands and face feel like you need to wash them.

It's an odd thing to describe, but it only seems to be an issue in this vehicle. If I run the heat or AC the windshield will unfog, but the inside of the car feels foggy and musty ish.


Any ideas?

 

Sounds like you don't have a cabin filter and the condenser coil is fouled up with mold and dust and/or your AC drain is clogged. Make sure you are not on recirculate when it is raining - as per the manual. Turning the vent to the windshield automatically runs the AC if the fan is on so don't forget to either turn off the fan or the vent away from the windshield or your gas mileage will suffer from your AC running.

 

I have a cabin filter, I'm not sure why the drain would be clogged. It is parked in the winter, and isn't driven a whole lot and stays clean. But it could possibly. I don't ever run it on the windshield setting unless i'm trying to get rid of the film. I had known it caused the AC to be on if you move it to the windshield setting.

 

I had run the car the other day without the recirculation on and I believe it helped. I honestly can't remember if I've ever ran it without recirculation on or not when it's raining. It seems that I had tried everything to keep it from getting nasty feeling inside. The other day when it was pouring the rain it seemed to be okay, the air blowing didn't feel like it had moisture in it like it usually does when it rains, it felt more dry.


thanks!
