No air coming out of the drivers side air vent?

[raharris]

Anyone had an issue with no air coming out of the drivers side air vent? Air blows from the rear, the center and passenger vent but not the drivers side.

Tried selecting individual and specifically checking the fan speed of drivers side / but nothing.

I did a bit more research, I hear motors working when I change the intended air direction. I also hear the cooling fan speeding up and slowing down on the individual setting.

What I am not getting is air coming out of the driver's air vent -not sure if this helps or if anyone else has experienced this.

I would double check in the individual settings. If you tap the round icon for the drivers side vent a blue slider switch should appear on the edge of the screen to alter the amount of air coming out of that vent. Check that it is fully up to the top. I wonder if you have somehow inadvertently slid it down to the bottom

See my comment above - I have used the individual settings to verify that the fan is speeding up and down with the slide in individual mode AND that I can hear the motors whirring when I change the fan direction. But I am not getting air out the vent; my guess is either a blocked vent or an issue with the control of one of the flaps.

Hi there, any outcome from this issue? I am experiencing the same. Many thanks!

Took it to the dealer and apparently there were some things in the vent ducting that should have been popped out. I am awaiting the dealer getting parts (which seems to be taking forever) to replace; but it's going to mean removing the entire dashboard

So it’s a common fault?

I can only go by what I have seen here; and you are only the second person to say you have the same issue. When was your car built?

I took delivery in December, so doesn’t sound like we would have been close enough that they had a systemic issue at the factory for a short period.

this has reminded me that I need to
Ping my dealer and see where we are at with parts - although given I already have another car sitting at the dealer for a part so I can take delivery - not sure I want to cars stuck
