Fans making noise when A/C is on - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mine does it also. The A/C blower is the one thing I'm not impressed with on the car. It's not powerful; it feels like someone with asthma blowing through a straw.

I just noticed it this week as well, but only at low speeds (with the heater). Once I turn it above I, it goes away (or I can't hear it because of the noise of the moving air). I'm taking it to my dealer next week.

This is very unsettling to see that clearly many owners are having this issue, yet there is no TSB on the matter. Hopefully they will get this solved soon...... But now I have extra ammunition on my next dealer visit, with a whole forum of Camaro owners with the same issue.

I'm 100% sure you are guessing -- this is real, it is DEFINITELY the HVAC fan, and it is annoying.

Add me to the list. Drives me insane. Wish there was a TSB on this issue, since it appears to be common. I think I'd rather wait until there's a proper service bulletin on this issue before going to get it fixed, I don't want to have to go back a million times!

I'm still on the fence about dropping the car off tomorrow. If they do not have an upgraded and improved part, looks like I will end up with the same problem down the road. It will go 3 or 4 days at times without making any noise, then I think I will wait. But then when it starts doing it and won't stop, then I am fed up with it!

Hmmmm. I have until tomorrow morning to make up my mind.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this problem.I will take it to the dealer this week hopefully they will fix it.

thanks

<----me too. Drives me bonkers.

add me to the list.... it's frustrating!!!!! I don't want to take it in to the dealer as soon as I do they cause something else to squeak....

Alpinestar750 · 12-14-2010, 12:25 PM

My fan made squeeks as well, took it to the dealer and they replaced the blower motor. under warranty, no charge. Now its perfectly quiet. If only fixing the mismatched bumper paint was this easy to fix!

Maverickhpr · 12-14-2010, 01:13 PM

Mine started doing it a few weeks ago taking her in on Thursday to get it fixed with other small issues rattles in sunroof and the black trim piece under front bumper tearing

Wingsfan · 12-14-2010, 02:12 PM

having the same issue. It's in storage though, so it can wait till spring.

rykeith · 12-14-2010, 05:30 PM

Add me to the list too. You can hear it at low fan speeds, goes away when fan speed increases. Sounds like crickets to me.
