Sup guys,

So I just started to have this problem with my A/C vents. It's starting to blow white smoke with no scent. When the A/C is not on and the air is running through, white smoke starts to come to the vents from time to time. When I do turn the A/C on, sometimes it doesn't blow white smoke and other times it does.

Is this because I need more freon?

Also, not sure if this problem is related or not, but my front windshield is taking much longer to defrost that before, and also starts to fog up slightly quicker.. Do you know what this may be as well?

Thanks in advance!

Is this with the air set to recirculate or induct?

With the front windshield fogging up and taking longer to defrost almost sounds like a heater core is starting to leak/fail.

Does the a/c still blow cold air?

What does it do when you turn the heater on?

Yeah the A/C still blows real cold, when I turn the heater on it's still pretty hot as well with the white smoke going in and out from time to time. It feels like it takes forever with the defroster as well.

What can I do to fix the prob?

& when the air is set to recirculate, the white smoke comes in when the defroster button is pushed. But when nothing is going on and it is set to induct, the white smoke comes in from the side driver and passenger vents..

A bad heater core would make sense, as it could perhaps let out water vapor which would be your "white smoke".

Check the inside of your windshield, is there a thin film on it at all? This would cause the windows to become foggy very easily.
