Actuator problems againGood grief,

Seems like I just replaced all of these valves/actuators within the last 5k miles now the banging noise is back from the dash. I have a 2013 RT with barely 61K on it, original owner.

Interesting is the noise comes when the air is not running and engine is just shut off? Appears to be coming from the dash behind the navigator screen. Lasts about a minute or so and not all the time at this point. Banging or tapping..noticeable for sure.

On the suggestion of the dealership we replaced all 4 supposedly as it was he same labor, now something is banging again.

One note was about three days again when driving after accelerating from a light I heard a loud bang or thud noise coming from up underneath the car like something coming off my tire possibly. Related?
Very frustrated as I think it cost around $500 before. Why does this keep happening, we are diligent in turning off the AC before we turn off the car. Does this only happen on Chargers?

Any suggestions?

The actuators can click when the ignition is Off and the engine is not running.

The HVAC system will automatically run a actuator calibration 10 minutes after turning the ignition off ... after a specified number of ignition cycles. It will also perform this calibration after turning the ignition On after reconnecting the battery. Once actuated, the calibration function will run to completion even if the ignition is turned Off. Upon completion, all air-door actuators should return to the position that the system is currently requesting (if they are able).

If you had all four actuators replaced at the dealership you should have a 12 month warranty on the repair (parts & labor). If it's been less than 12 months contact the dealership.

Does it only happen on Chargers? No. It's happens on other brands too. It happened on my Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. It could be parked (all systems Off) and when I went out to get in the car it would be sitting there clicking away.
