Just got a new fortuner GX. Love the car but the fan for the air conditioning seems quite noisy, makes a high pitched whining sound. I’ve noticed there’s no cover over the fan unit in the passenger footwell. Is this something others have noticed?

Maybe I’m being picky, i think it’s working fine it’s just that I can hear a whine from the fan motor coming from the passenger footwell and it irritates me. It changes pitch when I change the fan speed. I can’t hear this noise in my other car.

I think you better get it looked at. Mine's 18 months old. High pitch whining noise started 6 months ago. It was intermittent so the dealer's explanation was that most probably a leaf that found its way down to the fan which I think was BS. Now it's louder and it's almost always there. Booked in to get it looked at. I hope they do a proper job rather than trying something that masks the problem.

Hi all, I’m a newbie here, my 2016 GX tuna has done 110k and and I’m looking at my 3rd AC fan motor. I’ve been told by a dealership it is a known issue and they are waiting on a replacement to be supplied by the 3rd party with a fix that won’t fail. As It failed at 95k I’ve been told there’s no problem with warranty but I have had to put up with 15000km of a screaming fan so far (mainly on 2). Be sure you log everything with dates and K’s at every service. Some dealers are on your side, others deserve the “stealership” title. I’ve used both and the stealers are in the dust.
Great vehicle otherwise...
