I had the exact same problem a year ago as Macadami describes. I took it to the dealer and I was told a HVAC actuator door had gone bad. They charged $700 to repair it. If I recall correctly, the part was in the neighborhood of $200 with the remainder in labor. When asked why the labor was so much, they indicated the entire dash cover had to be removed.

In hindsight, I was not a member of this fabulous forum yet. Had I been, I would have at least attempted the repair first on my own as there are lots of knowledgeable members that could have probably supplied technical advice along the way.

First thing I'd do is pull the codes. If you have a problem with the actuators it should throw a code. Let us know.

My old 98 used to do that when it needed a freon charge.
