Heat in the cabin

Hi I don't know why my inside cabin feels pretty hot all the time. Do anyone also experience this problem. Thanks.

Pretty common. Every car i've owned has done it to some degree. Combination of the tranmission and exhaust right under your seat. Heat rises, so over time it tends to come in. Feel your trans hump after driving around a while and you'll feel warmth.

FWD cars don't tend to do it as much as RWD/AWD as the trans hump helps trap rising heat.

I think it comes down to if you have a sidewinder setup or not. Keep in mind that your driveshaft tunnel is often used for exhaust in a FWD car.

If you are referring to heat coming out of the vents during driving, just make sure the vents are closed on the AC control.

Toss her out if heat is a problem. My cabin is a little cool at the moment.

change the vents to recirc, this usually stop the warm air from coming thru.

Yea happens to most cars... heat shield can only hold off so much heat.

Nothing to worry about

Mine does that after I use it to defrost. Just open the sunroof using the tilt..and take your air off recirculate...it'll cool down.
