When heater is working, there is a frequent hiss, pop, or squeak (different noises at different times). I assume it is related to baffles opening and closing (dual air controls) but it is very, very annoying and not heard in any other vehicle. Similar to the AC problem reported separately.

Whenever I turn on the AC or heat and have it coming out of the vents, I hear a loud clicking noise. It sounds as if something is stuck behind there and sounds like it could snap. Haven't took it back to the dealer, but will soon!

AC had very loud clicking and chirping noise every 45 seconds or so on hot days. In underground parking, this would draw attention from people several rows away wondering what was wrong. Dealer replaced compressor and pulley, but problem continues this year (09) but not as frequent. Baffles have slight squeak as the air flow changes, but not as loud as when the heater is working (see separate complaint)
