9/10/13: I recently had my 2012 Camry in for front bumper painting that was under warranty. I'm thrilled with the results. The service dept at Toyota of Grand Rapids (Ben DeKruyter) has always been helpful and respectful and fulfilled the needs of my Toyotas.

My car has a moldy odor coming from the AC that couldn't be found by technicians. This smell is not caused by anything in my garage, where the car is parked each night and during the day when not in use. My 2002 Toyota Camry has the same problem, same smell. That car was sold to my brother when I bought my current 2012 Toyota Camry and the 2002 still has the same smell and problem.
I believe it is something within the evaporator drain that is a problem with many Toyota Camrys. Ben is the best and he tried hard to duplicate the smell and could not. However, in our tests, no matter if we leave the car out or in, the smell is there. Same with the 2002 Camry my brother now has and I had that problem for many years with the 2002. I'm disappointed that my new car now has this stink.
