I had that once in my Scion.

I have never had it happen before in any of my Toys that have had AC.

What I do is, about 2 miles from home I turn off the AC, move the intake
to Fresh and put the fan on Medium. I have never had a problem with that
mildew smell.

Here's a hint: If you put the A/C in fresh mode, and then roll down a
window, you'll feel the blast get just as strong as it is in recirculate
mode with the wondows closed. Roll the window back up, the airflow will
reduce again.

Steve, thanks for that tip about equalizing the air pressure. I'll
give
it a try. I guess the only drawback would be the road noise from
keeping
the window slightly open.
