• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Recently, my Kia started to behave weirdly with the AC, not cool air is coming unless I set the temperature below ~65°F (~18°C) and I wonder if this is an issue that should be taken care at the dealership or if it is something I did change - "accidentally" - in the settings causing this, if this happen to you before and you know the root cause and the fix please let me know, I am in FL US and sometimes is cold but most of the time is hot down here. I own a Telluride SX-Prestige AWD 2025 with the latest software updates via OTA
 
Hard to suggest much, as the issue could be myriad.
I do know modern vehicles utilize humidity content, solar and other various sensors to adjust various parameters of the HVAC system. Ever notice the automatic dehumidification that happens from time to time? This is because of the aforementioned sensors and Logic of the unit.

I can suggest a scan of the climate control system (would be a factory level scan tool) to see if there's any faults with the sensors and/or stratification (how various doors are opened/closed and/or heat/air cond mix) operation. I.E. The recirculation stops and the A/C compressor comes on.

There's a LOT more going on with modern auto HVAC behind the scenes that most are unaware of.
 
If it's still under warranty, why not take it to the dealership ??
