Noisy climate fan?

[Michael Angelos]

Hey, this might have been mentioned, but is the climate fan noisy? Like rattling? I didn't know what the sound was and asked the service people to look into it when I got my updates but they didn't because they kinda suck, hahaha.

Just figured out it was the fan today.

Have you checked the cabin air filter?

Should not be noisy no. Maybe blower going bad (common in all cars) or just a leaf or something stuck in there (even more common in all cars). As mentioned, pull your cabin air filter and have a look see. Might be able to pluck out an offending leaf or something simple.

Here is a link that will take you another thread on this topic. There is a you tube video showing exactly how to remove the air filter.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

This is a problem that several have had. The dealer had to replace their fan and/or fan motor. If there is no debris present, then it’s time for a warranty replacement. Take it to the dealer and have them listen to it so they can order you a replacement, hopefully without having two service waits.

Thanks, yeah I checked the air filter it’s clean sounds like it needs a new fan.

How do you know if it's overly noisy? Mine isn't rattling but it does seem louder than it should be at the lowest setting. My husband says it is just more noticeable because the car is silent. But I think the fan is louder than my previous 2-3 cars.

I can speak for the clarity I drive...the climate system mechanics is very quiet.

Hope I don't jinx myself...lol.

Good luck!

This was the first repair made on my Clarity. The dealer heard the noise quite clearly -- and immediately replaced the motor. Don't just drop the car off. Ask a service rep to sit in the car with you to hear the rattling.
