“From day of purchase, heard loud creaking under the dash. Assumed vents were opening/closing. Eventually cold air began to blow from the right vents. I contacted the dealer and was advised that the blend door actuator probably needed replacing at a cost of $1500. They said bring it on, we have two here now with the same problem.”
