Lateral HVAC vents
I noticed that my lateral HVAC vents seem to open and close with virtually no resistance, resulting in them actually falling shut over bumps or blowing shut when the fan is on high. Have any of you had this issue and fixed it? It's pretty annoying because I cannot direct air where I want it - they are basically either open all the way or shut...

This is a warranty issue with a 2017. Have your dealer replace the vent.

I get that it should be under warranty, but is it a common issue? TSB? Is there a fix that others use absent warranty? |

 Lateral usually means toward the sides but this sounds more like the center vents.

No. No. Ok... Quote:
Yes, lateral means the sides. The center vents kind of suck, too, but they don't close completely simply because the fan is blowing. Maybe I need to find a matchbook? lol |
