My C8 Stingray with less than 3000 km and only 5 months old has just started having a musty smell which I have not smelled in any of my cars for over 40 years. Has anyone have had this? Is this covered under warranty? Do i get it fixed now or wait until spring 2027? Your guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Musty smell in passenger compartment from A/C.

Not sure if it's similar but I had the same with my C7 early on. The dealer initially couldn't figure it out, so I did some research myself online and found that there was an 'afterblow' feature which sounds weird but essentially it runs the blower motor after the engine is shut off...to get rid of excess condensation which caused the musty smell.
It was a software fix and once they did this 6 or so years ago I've never had the smell again.

That's sounds what is wrong with mine. The smell comes from the moisture when the A/C is running and does not drain onto the ground. The last time I had this was with a new Ford Contour SE.
Thanks for your input and help.
