You have to hear the motor spinning around under the dash sounds like it could blow at any moment, rented a cobalt while my Malibu was in the shop and it had the same noise in its heater motor too!!

I have had the same problems with the AC Heater making the chirping sound at levels 1 and 2. It stops on the 3rd and 4th levels. I thought it was normal but from what you guys are saying maybe I should take it in to replace the blower motor. How much did cost? I am out of warranty and if it cost too much I might let it go for now. It works it blows heat and air but I do notice hesitation or the fan going low to high but then stays constant again thought it was normal. It shouldn't do it since most of my GM and Ford cars never did. Any thoughts on this?

I have had the same problem with the heater as other's have mentioned on this site. On 1st or 2nd setting, I would hear this "chirping" noise, kind of like a cricket in my car. I would turn it up or off and it would quit. I took it to the dealer I bought it from, and they replaced the blower motor, and that has fixed the problem. I haven't heard it since they did that.

i have started hearing a high pitched noise coming from the heat and ac vents. this noise has continued to get worse every time i am in the car. i haven't had it checked yet , but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. as it turns out i see a lot of people are having the same problem. i think this needs to be a recall. something is wrong with the motors of the ac and heat fans.

Everywhere I go I here a lovely sound like a high pitched squeal coming form my vents in my car as I have been told that is a covered repair but I don't have the time to take my car in to the dealership again for the AC problem. I had it in Twice because water was leaking out of my vents and then when they "FIXED" it I had to take it back the next day because my air did not work at all.... The dealerships need to work on the quality of work being done on the cars and try to make it hassle free for us. These are practically new cars they should have little to no problems!

Every time I have on the AC or the heater it lets out a high pitch squeal. I know of 3 other people that have had the same problem and everyone is trying to say it's suppose to make that sound. BULL!!! I have checked into the lemon law and it does apply so I will be forwarding this on and hopefully someone will get it right. It should not be making any sounds when its on. This is crap!!!
