Heater/AC fan making loud noise?!
I just started up my car 2 days ago to the fluttering sound of what seems to be the bearings going out on the heater/ac fan. If I turn the fan on full blast the sound becomes almost deep and resonating. Since the discovery it comes and goes with varying degrees.
Anyone heard of this problem? Is it covered under warrantee?

Use the SEARCH FEATURE it helps! I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but try the search function first, it will most likely answer your question, I had the same problem, i posted it about 1-2 months ago

My fan motor has just recently started making a squeek, squeek, type of noise like the bearing going bad as well. I especially hear it when I turn the car off and the fan motor chirp, chirps to a halt.
I would assume that the dealer would replace the motor if it is truly going bad.... They better... It's a functional mechanical component of the car. Is there some sort of maintenance oil or lube that needs to be performed. Sounds crazy, I've never had to lube any other car that I've owned. These should be "sealed" bearings, I should think.
Anyway... I too, will try the search function... but it sure doesn't sound like leaves involved...
Perhaps you could post your experience again, since a few of us seem to be developing the problem?
THANKS!

I just performed a search and found this thread...
http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...ight=fan+motor
It doesn't really shed too much light on the problem however... people just mention having their fan motors replaced. So I guess it answers the question about whether or not it's covered under warranty... but the cause isn't really ever explained. The leaf "theory" is mentioned but never confirmed...
Again... another Acura shortcut cheap motor? I shouldn't have to listen to a fan motor "screech" in a car of this class that's 10 months old and 12,000 miles... At least the tranny has behaved so far... knock on bowling ball...
