I've got an 01 Max GLE - 6K miles - and the AC unit randomly makes a cricket-like noise. It can even be heard over the sound system. This has been occuring for two months now. The only time it doesn't make the noise is when I drive into a Nissan Dealership lot (I've tried to bring it in for service 4 times now.) It almost sounds like a brake pad squeal, but it definitely stops when the AC is turned off... Is this the same problem in the non-climate controlled units on settings 2 and 3?

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so is there a part that I could request Nissan to replace

 

I've got probably what is referred to as the 2 and 3 speed noise on my GXE. I'm actually waiting on <b>max2001se</b> to let us know how the free oil change went at the dealer and what they said about the noise. See thread https://maxima.org/forums/showthread...threadid=16771

This is apparently different to the speed 1 noise that is caused by the fan blades hitting the casing around it, that I read somewhere on here.
