When I start my car a smell comes from the vents, it last for minute or two. Recently happen. I brought the car to the dealer could not find anything


I had many cars, this is not normal.

What smell is it? If it is a musty, moldy smell, it is the fungal growth on the evaporator core and it is normal. Use of a anti-fungal agent or a deodorant will help to mask the smell, I use Listerine, the old yellow stuff without sweetener in it. Just spray it in the air intakes and your car will have fresh breath again.
