Hey Folks,
This is something I actually noticed over the winter. When I turn just the regular vent (not a/c) on it's actually a lot warmer than the air temp outside. I don't have it on recirculate so it should be the fresh air from outside.
Also, now that it's summer and I'm using the a/c, it's not nearly as cold as it used to be. The system has been charged so the coolant level is good.
Any thoughts as to why if it's on vent or a/c the temp coming out is not optimal?
Thanks!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

What I forgot to add is that whether the temperature dial is on the coldest setting or 4-6 notches towards the red/heater, it yields the same temperature. I don't really feel a difference in the air until it's close to halfway between cold and hot.

The HVAC case could have a blend door stuck or obstructed, bad or sticking actuator, etc. Might need to do some more investigating.
For what it's worth, the AC might not have been correctly charged or it could have leaked some out.
