    The most common problem is the HVAC box. Inside 4 moveable plastic panels control the air flow to different chambers. The common issue is the plastic shaft breaks. The only way to replace these panels requires a complete dash and HVAC removal, 6-8 hours of labor, AC coolant needs to be drained and later refilled. Mine broke twice, first one was the lower panel under warranty and the second had 2 broken panels. I did it myselsefl and replace them with metal panel from "Heater Treater".
