    It sounds like the blower motor is on the way out and may need replacing.
    This is not uncommon in a lot of cars, but usually for old ones.

    Two years old?
    If car is within warranty, or even if it is not, try dealer first for consultation. They may fix whatever the issue is on good-will.

    Is it the interior cabin blower or the fan in the engine bay?

    Why is the blower on when you switch off the engine?
    Normally I turn my blower on first thing to clear mist or ice, and switch it off afterwards as it shouldn't be needed.
    Plus the extra drain on battery when starting.

    Are you sure it's not the radiator fan? It's normal for it to run for a few seconds after switching off the engine.
