2024 Lariat - Heat Not Working Well

[majerus]

I’ve noticed that my 24 Flash doesn’t like to use the dash vents for heat when on Auto climate. It seems to prioritize floor heat and windshield defrost.

I think this logic contributes to the feeling that the heat isn’t working well because you don’t literally feel it as easily. Switching to manual I can feel the heat so I know it’s working at least.

Think this is a bug, the video I show it takes almost 20 minutes while sitting to get to a set point. Even while parked, and running on max for last 5 or so mins. What ford is trying to do, and what they are accomplishing appears to be two different things. @Ford Motor Company can you review the video, and this thread and see if there is something that can be done here?

I have a 22 Lariat ER. I had the dealer look at it..said they recharged the AC...road tested...OK. Not OK. Last year it was HoTTT. Now it takes about 5-10 minutes to start blowing lukewarm. In 30 minutes it is comfortable. It is going back to the dealer after Thanksgiving!

Never thought I would value it so, but the heated steering wheel is a big contributor to comfort in cold weather. I find the combination of that, plus the cabin heat set to the lowest level, plus the heated seats, fend off the chill of our New England winters pretty well. That said, in recent years they haven't been up to their frigid standards of yore.
