GOOD
Heat works fine in the winter
BAD
can't stop hot air in the summer
DETAILS
> My car has automatic temperature control which is wonderful in the winter. The summer can be a different matter!
> This is a temperature problem. Extremely hot air comes through the vents and the faster I drive the more that comes in.
> Turning the fan to off doesn't help.
> Dealer said I needed two parts both of which were buried in the dash - cost would be in $1000 range.
> I experienced the very hot air once this spring. It might have been during a hot spell. It occurred to me that the system might reset itself after a cold night and I swore to myself not to touch the controls again if it did reset - which it has! I have the fan off, the temperature is 74 and the duct setting is on center vents.
