A/C blowing colder on passenger side ??

Is it even possible for the AC to blow colder on the passenger side than the driver side ?

I have 6000 km left to my warranty and my car has proven to have a lot of issues, all of which are expensive to fix so I am having a lot of rattle and noises fixed under warranty. But I swear that lately I've been feeling like the temp doesn't get as cold as quickly as before. The vents don't feel as cold on the driver's side.

Could that be ?

Right now they ordered new front shocks and a new rack and pinion steering assembly but it was back order. Going back in when the parts come in.
6 months or so ago it was the torque converter and propeller shaft...

All together it probably adds to well over 7-8k of work ? Considering I've had the car 14 months, I'm starting to worry I can't afford to drive a TL !

FYI.. I have a 2012 SHAWD Elite (Advanced) with 74000km (46000 miles)

This is likely of no assistance, but we recently had my wife's Pilot in for work because the AC was blowing cold in the back, but warm in the front. The culprit was a hole in the condenser; must've caught a rock. But before we got there, the mechanic suggested (over the phone) I change the cabin air filter (myself), as that sometimes affects how air is directed. Don't know if that's true, and in my case it didn't help, but nonetheless, the filter needed changing (even though it was only about 8 months old).

Low on Freon, had the same issue with my 2009. Slow leak in one of the pipes going into the compressor.

This happened to me before on my wife's M5 (as in Mazda 5 ).

Because it was deemed to be a rock, it wasn't covered by the warranty.

How much did that repair ended up costing you ?

I am taking the car in next Wednesday.

My Indy bill was $396.00. $88.00 parts and the rest labor. Front bumper had to come off. Very glad to have great air in So Cal this summer.
