What owners wrote

About the beginning of october we noticed the passenger floor area began to have white spots. I tried vacuuming the area but the spots quilky reappeared and grew larger. Then I realized the spots were mold. Yesterday, I pulled back the carpet. To my horror, the underside of the carpet was engulfed in a white fuzzy mold. The mold was growing in the carpet, the underlayment and up the underside of the dash to a round plastic area. I believe this is either for the AC or heater or both.
