Toby99 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hello to all. Recently purchased a 2019 Edge. Noticed an issue with the air temperature from the rear seating air vent. Using a digital laser thermometer air temp at the rear seating vent is 15 -20 warmer when climate control is set to AC. In cooling mode the air feels warm compared to the air exiting the front vents. Any ideas why? Sure seems like a problem. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvn72 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Ours is the same way, would love more conversation on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I think it is because goes through a longer duct that is not straight & goes around the center console storage area, so it probably gets warmer on the way. The center console storage (under the armrest) even feels cold after a while. Maybe insulating the duct inside the center console will help.

Perblue Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 On hot days especially it takes time for it to cool down the venting the air runs through before it starts to feel close to the front air temp. There is also a chance that some of the drivetrain is warming it up some. Also If you have dual zone on the temp seems to be controlled by the passenger side.

jeffe Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 We have the same problem with rear heat when AC is on. going down the highway, sometimes it's cool and the next minute it's HOT! Can't figure out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby99 Posted May 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Lazy Ford engineering and poor quality control. My 2000 Explorer had a three speed fan for rear seating. Never had a cooling problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
