Maybe your speed caused it? You went so fast that it froze up?

Sorry, I had to say it.

I don't have any idea what the issue could be.

Re: blowing cold air

I've experienced the same thing, exept I thought the cold air was coming from the gear shift area (I have an automatic). It's almost like the car flexes and cold air comes in from the outside.

Re: blowing cold air

The vents have dampers in them that could possibly open .

Re: blowing cold air

Well I'm thinking its flex. Because I was doing something in the dash, and I had it apart and saw how the vents were connected. On the my left side vent was almost off the vent. Meaning the hose was just hanging there by a thread. So I had thought maybe I had lost a clip or a screw or something. Nope they did it just like the stock air inlet hoses on the intake. Totally half assed.

Re: blowing cold air

Mine does it as well. Turning sharp left or right there is a rush of cold air that comes across what appears to be the middle of the car. Def. half assed something.
