Sounds like you have the smell issue we've been trying to get fixed for a while now, check out manure or bad smell posts from vents. Guarantee it's there without the a/c also,good luck.

smells like MOLD (2013 ECO) could be condensation from evaporator core not draining from the case. ????

From past experience with other brands when you are close to your destination turn off the ac and let just the fan blow for a couple three minutes.
That will help.

Do the 2013s have a cabin filter?

Most likely mold in the vents and box. Try running heat through the vents for awhile to dry them out.
