Q: A/c stays on unless turn fan off.

asked by on October 05, 2016

I just bought the suv. The air blows cold no matter whether the snowflake button is pushed or not. Also, it will still feel cold when fan is off unless you push recirculate. If you move the temp adjusters to full heat, heat will only come out the passenger and back vents. The drivers side stays cold. Any suggestions?
