Everytime I drive for maybe an hour or ride thru town the center console where the switches and gear shift is, gets really warm. The ash tray where I keep my change, gets hot and I can feel heat come from the vents where the A/C is.

Is this normal or is there something I should do to fix the problem!

Thanks
Brett A.
