Seems like when I have all the air off, climate control off.......I am feeling warm air down by my feet/legs. Anyone have this problem or maybe I am imagining things, but that's what I am feeling

Hit the recirculate button or turn the vent on but not the fan or AC. What you are experiencing is normal

that usually happens to me when the temp is set at a higher degree.....if that happens just turn the fan on, lower the temp to the cold side without AC and it should be fine

never happened to me. vents should be closed by default. the recirc button only has effect when the hvac is on

he's right, the circulate button will get rid of the hot air you are feeling at your feet. I have that button on at all times.

I felt this sometimes with the air off and figured maybe its the hole in the firewall that was drilled to run the wire for my amp??? or not...

ibag8rfan and MIKE2K2 are correct. Selecting the OFF button without the recirc button allows outside air into the cabin. Selecting the recirc button after pressing the OFF button will solve your problem.
