I just purchased a 350Z Auto and after 10 minutes of driving I found that my left leg was warm from resting it against the side of the gear shift consol.
I also found that the cabin seemed to get very warm without the AC on.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there anything that can be done to solve this heat problem apart from puting on the AC or opening the window.

 

Yes, heat inside is a problem i have noticed. The floors (foot wells.) especially get very warm.

 

hmmm...maybe it can keep me warm in the boston winter

 

If you bought a US spec model your left leg would be fine.

 

Yeah I noticed it too. My leather seats are always warm too. I'm always checking the seat heater switches to make sure I didn't accidently turn it on. I have to keep the A/C fan cranking pretty high just to keep cool.

 

What I would recommend doing would be to turn the A/C on, or, placing some solid water against your rectal mucosa. Hope that helps.

yeah, i'm getting warm cabin air also. Someone post if they report the problem to Nissan and get an answer. Thanks.

 

I have the same problem as far as heat comming out of the vents in the dsash and in the floor with the AC off. If it is any constalation to you guys I have noticed this is other cars that I have had also. Not just my Z on was a Honda Accord and the other was an Olds. Ciera.......as you can see I moved up in the world with me Z

 

have the same problem. it is 10X worse when you are in manual mode and revving hard. i don't think there is anything you or the dealer can do about it. just a trait of the car i think.

 

i think its normal, happened on an elclipse i also had

 

the cats are at your leg area their temperatures can run as high as 1700 degrees
