Loud clicking noise coming from inside the dashboard. The sound is near the driver side passenger side. It happens whenever I unlock the doors or do anything with the air conditioning/heating controls. It goes on for minutes at a time when I first get in the car and happens on and off while I'm driving.
The door blend actuators go out constantly. The car has three of them. When they go bad, there is a loud clicking or knocking sound behind the dashboard and the air conditioner and heater stop working. If it's cold, it blows cold air and if it's hot it blows hot air. I have replaced at least 20 actuators. Once they go bad, a new one last only a few months, which means there is a deeper issue. The dealer says chevy is aware of the problem and it is a well known issue; however, they have not issued a recall, dealer could not quote a price because they won't know what is wrong until they get in there. Dealer suspects chevy won't issue recall because the whole system is faulty and will cost thousands per car to fix.
The air conditioning system stopped providing cold, dry air for a period of about 15 minutes. Then, the cold, dry air returned. The airflow through the vents never decreased, only the temperature and humidity in the cabin changed. This has occurred intermittently throughout the summer of 2014, approximately 20 times.
