2007 Outlander XLS: Interior Cabin Fan Noise

Well, the outdoor temperatures have been falling. The interior (cabin) fan on my 2007 XLS Outtie began to squeel loud. Although intermittent, it's happening more often than not. It just started a few days ago, but today it was soo loud, I had to turn the fan off. After waiting a minute or two, I turned the fan back on and it had stopped; Only to start squeeling again a few mintues later.

Has anyone else encountered this as well?

I haven't noticed anything like this. Try taking it to the dealer. It should be covered.

I am taking it to the dealer. I'll post back anything if they find out the root cause.

Just as an fyi, it's not the engine fan, but the INTERIOR cabin fan (i.e. heater, etc). It sounds as though either a bearing has ceased or the fan itself is somehow rubbing the wall of the assembly unit.  It is happening within all the levels of the fan speed (low, medium, high).

Well, took it into the dealership today. After inspection they have ordered me a new blower motor.
 
FYI incase anyone else encounters this blower motor failure too.
