I noticed a similar condition in my car. Then something weird started to happen... with A/C on some of the vents were blowing very hot air.

I took the car into the Stealer and they diagnosed that a heat exchange valve went bad and needed to be replaced. Also, recommended that I change out my thermostat because it showed some fault codes on the scan tool. All in all it cost me a whopping $800 to fix.

Hope this won't be your problem...

The HVAC/Radio area, after only 30 minutes of driving will become very hot. Probably close to 90+ degrees?
Normal? Dealer thinks so, I'm not so sure.
Any pointers?
