When we turn on the heater or ac, there is a smell like stinky odor coming from the vents. We have only owned the car 16 months and it just started in the last 2 months. We live on a small disability check and really can't afford to take it into the dealer.

Mould and mildew build up in the A/c system, first thing to do is make sure that the A/c drain tube is not blocked and then you can spray a A/C disinfectant into the vents to kill the bacteria that is making the smell, you can buy this at most larger parts stores.
