Not sure if this is in the right section but there didn't seem to be anything that this would fit in.
I bought my 2016 Fiesta ST a little over 3 weeks ago. Just rolled over 1k miles today. Not sure if it was always there or it's just been bothering me more recently. But as far as I can tell I get a strong smell coming from the vents when I turn on the AC after getting into the car that's been sitting in the sun for several hours. Sometimes it's strong enough that I can taste it and it gives me a headache. This is my first new car so I'm not sure what smells to expect. If it's the new car smell of the off gassing of plastics and glues then it's really strong. It's bothered me enough that my windows have now been opened just a bit for the past 2 days to let it air out some. I didn't notice it as much today when I turned on the AC, but it was there. I haven't sprayed any kind of air freshener in it yet. I pretty much always use the AC on recirculate because I'm in Texas, and I leave the windows closed. The cars generally sits outside uncovered during the hottest part of the day while I'm at work with the windows shut. So until recently I didn't give much chance of any smells escaping.
The smell is not foul like something crawled up in there and died. Doesn't smell like mold, but then I don't go around smelling mold often. Can't say I've smelt anything like it before to compare.
