Your cabin air filter should be located in glove box , behind damper. Open the glove box door and slide off the damper. Push in each side of the glove box to disconnect the claws Push down on tabs and open the filter door Remove the filter from the filter outlet When installing the filter in the filter outlet, follow the instructions indicated on the label

Your vehicle is not equipped with a factory-installed cabin air filter.

Hey Jason,

Yes it seems your car does not have a filter so it could be the blower motor that is having a problem and needs replacement but before you do, check the intake of the heater box sometime that can get a plastic bag stuck in it to slow the air flow down.

Here is a guide that can help you.

Let us know how it goes

Best, Ken
