Answer this question for me, does the defrost flap come open as well? I had a similar issue where the defrost flap was coming open part way sometimes even when I had it set to just the vents or feet, it ended up being a shot defrost pod. The way you can test the vacuum components in the HVAC system is to access the vacuum switchover unit that is behind the glovebox then use a vacuum tester to pull a vacuum and see if it holds.
