Default am i thinking too hard or is there a strange overheating prob on the drivers side???

I just got home from work and although it is about 90 degrees and very humid here i noticed on the drive home that even with the windows down (i RARELY use AC) the area around my left arm on the steering wheel seemed very warm and under the steering wheel area feels warm around the seat, the passenger side doesnt feel warm really. I tried to turn on the AC to vent out whatever warm air may be still in the system and it got cool but as soon as i turned off the AC even with the windows down the drivers side especially around the left and underside of the steering wheel feels very warm?am i crazy or anyone else noticed this (and this is the first time i have noticed thiS)

no one else has an issue with this warmth on the drivers side in the cabin?

Same issue. I figured it was just the heat from the engine...

i notice that it is warm in the car w/o the a/c on. i don't notice a difference between the passenger or the driver's side. i'm not sure if its from the engine or not, but it does get quite warm.

I notice even when the A/C is on full blast my knees are still warm from the sun. I should have got my Visor (eyebrow) tinted also

I never noticed the left side of me getting warm, but last week when I drove the car on the highway for a long time the floor near your right leg always stays pretty warm, most likely from the exhaust pipes passing near there.

I have noticed it. Around the floor on the driver side. If you drive without the ac on. It gets hot around your right foot. I believe it is heat coming off the engine.
