M3 LR Vibrates and shakes when heater on

[ashotk13]

Hey guys, just picked up my M3 about 3 weeks ago and sadly im already noticing quality issues. Its cold here where I am from but my car is always garage stored. I noticed recently that whenever i put the heat on, whether its defrost or feet warmer etc, the car would send a loud humming at 1 fan speed. At fan speed 5 and above, the whole front end of the car starts vibrating and the streering wheel starts shaking pretty bad. I also noticed as im driving there is vibration, not sure if there is also an allignment issue.

I put in a service request through the app, my question is this, am I covered for this? Its my first finance so I am not sure if they are going to charge me for something that is not my fault.

Wow, that sounds crazy. Whatever it is it should be covered by the warranty. I just curious to know what that would even be.

Sounds like a bad compressor. Yes it will be covered under warranty.

There seem to be a lot of reports recently of loud noises and bad vibrations from the climate system in cold weather. I hope that gets sorted quickly!

Seems to have stopped as the weather warmed up. Very strange

Sounds like a Heat Pump issue, I think it's a known issue. But you should have Tesla take a look.

Anyone has an update on this. Received my MYP in February and also every morning it shakes the front of my car like crazy when I just start driving from the driveway. Coming from the front, really loud noise and shakes. Gone after 3 seconds. First time I thought something was about to explode
Also... when I precondition the car in the morning it shakes so badly that my alarm is triggered. I watch sentry mode and nothing was going on, its just the car vibrating so hard. I had to switch of sentry mode near my home and work address.
