Asked by Fordvolvospecialist Mar 14, 2016 at 08:11 PM about the 1996 Toyota Camry XLE

Question type: General

of vents heavy metallic smell and burning
hair, has no trash or leaves or plastic bags
and does it all operations recirc, fresh air.
A/c works fine otherwise but I feel like I'm
getting sick from the fumes like copper
toxic , or aluminum. Believe it's a copper
evaporator I'll post a video on my fb

Sounds like someone needs to start "ripen and tearing" the HVAC box and examine the Heater/Evap assembly. My guess is the Evap is beginning to leak.
