Is anyone having issues with a stiff passenger heater/a/c knob on trucks with dual climate control?
Dealership told me they didn't find anything wrong.

So is it actually stiff then? Dealership said nothing is wrong. I'm assuming then that it's stiff compared to the other knob (drivers side)....is the other knob loose then?
