winter issues

hey guys,

so, I'm finally having my first issue with my FiST.

1) this is the common one that it seems. Only today, first time, my hvac blower wasn't operating properly. The air seemed like it was blowing below the slowest setting. The temperature seemed about correct. This may be related to the blower freezing up or something. Although, I think I have the foam strips that is part of the fix for that...

2) This is the 3rd time it has happened. It seems to only happen when I get off work and it has been below 0 degrees F, if not below -10 degrees. When I press the lock/unlock button on the driver's side door handle, all but the driver door unlocks. Seemed very odd. Pressing the button again locks everything (no noise from driver's door). Pressing it again unlocks all but driver's door. Very odd.

so I guess Ill go visit my dealer on Monday and ask them to take a look. They probably wont be able to replicate the issues without keeping the girl overnight.


anyways, anyone else having similar issues or have any insight?

When I put mine on Auto in the cold, it blows out of the defroster. That's great to keep the windshield clear, but useless to warm the car. All that hot air turns cold when passing over the windshield, and then it blows the cold air in my face...
Gotta be sure all the other ventilation buttons are off...
There's nothing to "be sure" of. When you press the Auto button, it takes over and sets everything. Your only control is the temperature. Which is the reason why I use Manual whenever I want heat.
