I just got my AC recharged a month or two back. Worked very well. now we are gettign into the hot days in Iowa and i have noticed somethign very strange. The passenger side vent blow really nice cold air, while the middle vent and the two driver side vents blow a noticably warmer air and not as forcful. infact the far left vent doesnt blow much at all, which is nothing new from what I can tell, but this COLD AIR HOT AIR thing is messin with my head!! Any help out there?

Well I'm no help but I remember seeing a post by someone else who also had this problem. Do a search or just go through recent topics, it was in the past week or so I think.

Sounds like it might be an actuator or control head problem, depending on which climate control system you have(manual or digital dual zone). The actuators are on either side of the heater core housing, behind the center console.

Olg GT Here. I got my AC recharged after the Drivers side was cold and the passenger was cold and it seemed to help alot but I still noticed a differen between the sides. The AC then failed like a few months later. Im guessing its more than the blendor motor and maybe possible the unit itself that holds the stuff. the compressor seems fine but hell, im not a AC tech. Ill get an estimate real soon cause i need this cold air.

I have a 98 GTP w/164,000 miles and I had the exact same thing happen to me. On June 23, 2007 I took it to Pep Boys Service for AC recharge($203), three days later I developed the same problem you have. I just got my car out of the shop on June 29. The compressor was leaking. New compressor installed was ($482) and they claim they were giving me a break since they had just recharged it a week earlier.Problem is fixed and AC is freezing cold.
