I have heard of this problem but only from owners in the UK some thing about the sealant/foam around the inside edge of the vent holding moisture seems to ring a bell.
Might be worth "popping" the vent out and checking behind, it's only one screw and I can't see anyone selling a genuine car having a problem with you doing this.
Good luck with your search.
