Climate Control Gone Mad?

So after searching through some threads... I have come to the conclusion that our climate controls suck big time. But here my dilemma... so yesterday after driving home with my cousin, I turned on the A/C and at 75 it was way warm. After trying to figure out what was going on, I felt that the passenger vents were COLDER than the drivers side when it was set at the same temperature. 75 feels like 75 on the passenger vents, but 75 on the drivers side feels like 85. I proceeded to test it out at other temperatures and it was the same deal... anyone have this problem?

was 1 side of the car in the sun? with dual climate control, im guessing theres a sensor for each side. if his side was in the sun then it would be trying to cool it down while trying to warms yours up. that or you had dual control on by accident.

You said you were testing out different temperatures, what other tests did you do and what were the results?
