    Just curious if anyone else here has had this?

    https://youtu.be/fYHtLhzKiVQ

    Found some older gen threads but nothing revent.

    Guess I'm taking it to dealer under warranty...

    EDIT:

    Video of fan. You can see the fan wobbles. After further inspection, the top part has cracked and the spindle is grinding inside the cracked cap and throwing off the balance of the fan.

    Pretty disappointed this happened. Truck is only 18 months old, 90% flat highway miles, windows down 1/2 the year.

    That's the built in coffee bean grinder.

    Blower fan is known to be weak and can crack apart. Last I heard they were on super duper back order. Get er in to the dealer.

    Perhaps, started at a very odd time. Fine going to work, fine coming home. Ran inside to get gym bag, started doing it when I turned it back on.

    If it was mice... At least their ground up now, not chewing on anything. Hope it something simple.

    It's easy to drop a blower motor and if it's a mouse it's not covered under warranty. It's a mouse.he'll know for sure when it stinks tomorrow. I just pulled one out for a coworker last month .

    Upon further inspection, you can see the top part of the fan is cracked, causing the spindle to skip and thowing it off balance......
