I have heard of someone else having this problem and it turned out there was mold growing in the vents. May be the problem.

It is definitely mold built up in the evaporator.

There are two solutions:

First, but the most expensive, Removing the evaporator and manually clean it.

Second one, is an special foam that can be apply to the evaporator from the blower fan or trough the in-cabin filter. This foam can be purchase in most dealers.
