2026 Prius smells weird every time it rains…

Question

Hey folks!

The headline pretty much sums it up… Purchased new last October, 13,000 miles. The smell doesn’t last, fortunately, but there is a definite mildew smell every time I get in the car after it’s rained a lot. It hasn’t been a super rainy year, so I haven’t experienced it a ton, but realizing I need to get this documented before the one-year mark. Curious if anybody else has experienced this, but I’m definitely going to reach out to the dealership in the next couple days.

Thanks!
