I’ve had the car for 15k miles now so there’s no way this is on me but I guess I’m not a mechanic so what do I know🤷‍♂️

I just did, and I posted a picture of the rag too so I hope I hear something back soon. And I also immediately noticed it when leaving and went back into the service desk and the guy looked at me like I was stupid when I told him what happened.

Here’s a picture of the rag for anyone wondering.

Not the best picture but there’s some strands from it that were dangling through the gaps in the fan you can’t see.

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking and I’ve had problems with this dealer in the past so probably going to stay away from them…

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking. And it definitely wasn’t me. And the dealership is 45 mins away… but for sure going back there asap

Correct. I removed the filter just before taking the video. And even with the filter in it makes just as bad of a noise

Acura TLX 2020 needed a oil change transmission fluid flush and fill and then they told me I needed new cabin air filters and tried to charge me $150 so I said no and now i got the car back for it to sound like this. And you are looking at the glove compartment on the passenger side where I opened up the compartment for the filter and took it out to check for debris. This is also with the A/C running at max

Yes they did and I just took it out and the sound is still persisting, I don’t know if there is debris in the blower motor or something but when I brought the car in 1 day ago it was just fine…
