When the car is fully warmed up (oil temp around 240) and been driving for more than an hour, my heater squeaks. You can hear it in the general area of the upper right side of the dash.

The fan speed is 5 indicator bars or lower, at 6 indicator bars or higher, the sound goes away -- almost like something is caught in the vent and the faster wind quiets it. I think it happens regardless of Econ/regular mode, but not sure.

Car is still under warranty, but we all know how well the dealer is at diagnosing these things. Would love to give them more direction.

Any thoughts?

It's the blower bearing. Had mine replaced under warranty at 30k miles.

Really appreciate the help.

The first time was high speed sound. Warranty repairs took the leaf out of the blower.

2nd time was a lows speed...1-3 bars.. whine. Warranty replaced the entire fan assembly.


If you don't have confidence in the dealer, sit the service writter in your car and say:"Hear that?"
