Air Conditioner Problems of Volvo XC60

Mold, mildew and bacteria growing in ventilation system. Initially noticed because of very bad odor coming from air conditioning system. A design flaw in air conditioning/ventilation system. Condenser does not drain properly, causing it to clog and mold/mildew and bacteria grow in the system. Volvo's solution is just change the filters more frequently to spray chemicals in the system rather than fix the problem. A check online shows that there are many other Volvo owners affected by the problem. Condenser should be recalled and fixed properly so that it drains and that mold and bacteria do not grow in the system. Inhalation of mold and bacteria has been shown to cause lung disease, and aggravates conditions like asthma. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer twice to have the problem addressed. They refused to replace the part. I also contacted Volvo corporate offices and they refused to intervene. They also refused to provide contact information for their district manager.
