It concerns the recall with k17 reprogram hvac control head and inspec/replace actuators. This problem has been going on with this vehicle since new, here is 4 years later 2 repairs by dealer one replacement by owner and the problem still going on. The famous motor actuators for the vent opening and closing. Also the change of temperature while the ac is on it has its own mind to go to heat not allowing the full cool effects of the system.
