Well of course not. When you shut the car down, all water circulation stops so engine heat goes way up. This means the radiator gets hot too, and therefore so does the AC condensor. It takes time for all these things to cool back down when you start it back up.
I am willing to bet your blower motor is starting to go. The sound is probably from the motor brushes against the back of the motor as it rotates. They will eventually stop running all together someday and you will either need to source new brushes or replace the whole fan unit.
There is a blender that controls the air flow to go through the heater core for heat, and the evaporator for AC. It very well could be stuck.
You maybe able to try and get it to get unstuck by running the cars AC and switching from heat to AC back and forth and see if it gets unstuck. Just turn it on full blast and go from heat to cool.
If that fails, then you may need to service it. There should be a Lever Marked VENT under the dash, usually by the Brake
and other pedals on the Driver's Side. Close the VENT and that will
stop the Air from coming in and leave the A/C Blowing through the
outlets(Vents).
I also read this online if you have an electronic climate control. "On
climate control press off and heat button and let go quickly. Then
press automatic. The display will start rotating eventually displaying a
code 025,125 , 024 etc. Then press defrost to stop. You may hear blend
door operating atb that time. It worked for my climate control."
Tell the dealership uhugh. if the check engine light comes on, there is an error code which gets stored in the computer. on the nicer vehicles (like yours)it stores vehicle information at the time when the error occured....eg battery voltage, rpm, speed, temperature, rpm etc. you need the find out what the error code is. that would give you an idea on where to start looking
the first suspect is the igniton switch. when this happens, take the ign key and just barlely turn it, either way, not enough to go off/on just a little tweak, it the lights come back on or flicker, that ign switch will need replacement.
my mom has a 99 durango that did the same thing it would just stop running and would turn over but wouldnt start let it sit for a while then it would start right up it turned out to be the brain of the car the ecu dont know if this will help but its worth a shot
