My 2016 Altima is been occasionally having this issue, but the last few weeks it is every time I get in the car.
Given it is hot, I want full A/C and vents blowing as much air through the vents on the dash pointing at me. And I have "recirculate" air setting.
It works fine and the A/C is cold, but within 1-3 minutes the airflow to the dash vents decreases and more airflow is directed to my feet. I and turn it all off or sometimes cycling through all the modes (windsheild defrost/defrost and floor/dash vents/etc) will fix the issue for a while. And when I say the airflow decreases, it is noticeable (especially when you are sweating away). It is a more significant change to airflow than moving from "recirculate" to "fresh air" modes.
My assumption is that there is a bad servo or something like that in the part that modulates where the airflow goes in the HVAC. I just have no idea where it is or how many curse words will be uttered as I attempt to replace it. And will I give up and bring it to a shop in the end?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
