This happened to mine (like most) earlier this year. I decided to bite the bullet and get it done at the dealer. When I went to pay, my advisor told me "good thing you bought the extended warranty." Fortunately for me, bc I never bought that, he winked and sent me on my way. We had several conversations regarding this issue, and even he said it was ********. He totally hooked me up. Most dealers and advisors know these actuators blow. Good luck!

Mine was replaced at the dealer under warranty.
Are the new ones any better? Or do they replace them with the same thing?

The same crap.

Know this thread is old, but I now have the same thing going on in my 2011 SCAB as well.
Anyone do the blend door actuator repair? Or is it a nightmare left for the Ford Stealership?
For anyone that took it to the dealer what was the repair cost?

Yup my 2011 just started "poping" too. Great.

My local shop quoted me $800 to fix the left side, so I plan to let it pop until it locks into either cold or hot....and even then, as long as it is hot during the winter or cold in the summer, I might even wait longer to get it replaced. ;-)
