Description of the problem | Ignition completely turned off, i push button to turn on radio and i hear several tap, tap, tap, tap behind mid-dash radio-cd, a. C, heat control unit. I'm sure the tap, tap, tap, tap noise is door to air recirculation/no recirculation door that somehow activates unit actuator just by turning on radio! Unbelievable! Also, when i need to defrost windshield i turn temp knob to cold and the tap, tap, tap, tap noise happens! I do not turn on a/c compressor. Again, unbelievable!! This is a design defect for sure. I'm sure that to diagnose and repair the steering wheel, dash must be removed so tech,. Can gat to mis-designed parts. No customer should have to pay for this kind of design defect. I want gmc to oay to solve their design defect!!! This defect happens every time i turn on radio of do a cold defrost. Problem happens at any speed or when no key in ignition. |
