Description of the problem | On several occasions when i start my car it blows extremely hot air out the driver's side vents while the passenger side still follows the heater control settings. So even if i turn the temperature down so the ac kicks in it still is extremely hot on the driver's side. I tried turning off the control, restarting the car, and just about everything else and only after it sits a while does it work again. This makes for some very uncomfortable driving when it is warm outside. This happens about once a week and never when i can get it to the dealership for them to check. |
