Are your settings at LOW, as in the temperature slides? You can have the A/C on stun but If'n your temperature setting slide is at HI, you throw heat. Discovered when I thought I knew everything. Or if'n your sync is off, one side could be on LO (blue) and the opposite side on HI (red)
this has been discussed time and time again on here, and no there isnt A resolution because the dealers and FCA thinks it’s normal.
Mine never did that - it just let in "fresh air" every 40 minutes or so, and then only for parts of the trip. Once out of the sun later in the day, back in Iowa - it didn't do it and it hasn't since. It was only when driving for over a couple of hours and only on the right side and only for a while, then it's like it closed a vent and the AC went back to normal.this has been discussed time and time again on here, and no there isnt A resolution because the dealers and FCA thinks it’s normal.
mine will do this and blow full heat all the way to 61 degrees, and when and only when you drop it to “low”, temperatures set in the low 60s will actually reflect correct temperatures.
That's a good description of what mine does as well. Longer drive, HVAC on Auto, suddenly you get what feels like outside air being pushed through the system. Definitely noticeable, and an odd quirk, I just flip off the Auto, dial down the temp, and wait for it to sort itself. Then back to Auto.Mine never did that - it just let in "fresh air" every 40 minutes or so, and then only for parts of the trip.

I felt like mine was normal - it only did that after a prolonged drive, only with the AC on, and only with my wife setting it down to about 66 for her side. It only lasted a couple of minutes at the most. Never more than 2 or 3 miles then it shut off the heat source. It felt like humid outside air for sure.
I find it interesting that's the first time I've felt it - and it was only on a long drive- makes me think it figures how long the truck has been closed up with no fresh air.
IT happened on "Auto" and with my wife's side set a couple of degrees colder than my side - and while she was driving. Is she asks me I'll just tell her it was a hot flash or something.
From all the responses it seems we all have a wife who seems auto at 69 is not good to go. Though my ride was broken, now I have a better idea of the problem . Thanks everyone for the input.Mine never did that - it just let in "fresh air" every 40 minutes or so, and then only for parts of the trip.

LOL - yeah. with just me - auto, both sides 68, leave it alone. Maybe bump to 69 in the winter but usually just leave it alone at 68. And unless my wife turns up the fan speed, mine has been on auto since the day I drove it home November 2019.From all the responses it seems we all have a wife who seems auto at 69 is not good to go.

Yeah, not too bad and your right ... Still think that air gets in and out rather easily just due to the nature of things ...Leaky? Mine is sealed pretty darned well. The dust and pollen in CO was crazy - the owners of the show cars were having to dust off cars every hour.
My truck was covered in it - yet, not inside the cab.
Driving through some thick dust due to the high winds and dry land between here and there, no dust and my allergies didn't act up while in the truck. It's not insulated like my Chevy was - but tight, yeah, even the high pressure car wash hasn't been a problem (SO FAR)
If all the windows are up, the last door closed creates a nice pop.
Mine is sealed pretty tight.
