    I'll get right to the point.

    The AC/heat vents on this thing suck. If i put it on feet it still comes out of the face ones substantially. When i turn the air off (yes, with air circulation selected) the damn thing isn't truly off. My old, yes im gonna say it, jeep would actually stop pumping air when i turned the dial to off-incredible technology i know...

    Really irritating for such a pricey truck. Maybe there will be a TSB for these barely functioning airflow settings. Its not a matter of expecting the comforts of a car in a truck, this is 2019, the 2003 jeep could do it, toyota should be able to...

    Sorry for bitching but im just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

    Air comes through the cabin on all modern cars when AC is off. Its a liability thing.

    If you don't want air venting in, turn on recirculate and it will stop

    Look i am expecting to get flamed thread
    The airflow thing mentioned in post #2 still doesn't account for the poor airflow direction control. The top vent is always blowing even if its on feet and i think that's just sloppy engineering.

    Friday has become dumpster fire Friday.

    This Tuesday has become one for the record books.

    Let's make "Sand in the Vagina" Tuesday a thing from here on out.

    I do close em. Maybe it pisses me off more than most because I wear contacts and the heat from the top vents dries them out very quickly.

    Easy there Tiger. Sorry you're not getting responses that align with your ideals. If you don't like it sell the truck.

    Maybe check out some different contacts. I've had the same problem and different contacts make a world of difference!
