All of the sudden, there's no air flow from dash vents. Air flow from floor, windshield, and backseat air flow is good.

if the air is not coming from the vents only then most likely we have an issue with the mode door actuator.

Below is the process from the manual that will show how to replace and re calibrate this actuator. Please let us know if you have other questions or how you work out. Thanks
