Exclamation Weird Issue **Climate control????**

Hi , couple weeks ago I noticed something weird about the climate control , the air only comes out from the Left , Right and front window vents , no air from the bottom and the middle vents. Also when the unit is at OFF cool air comes out from the Left and right vents.

What could be the cause my problem and how do I fix it?

btw I also noticed the engine shaking from side to side could it be the AC going on off by itself all the time? (MAf , mounts , sparkplugs new , no air leaks found)

Thanks for helping!!

No fix, but I can relate.

I didn't notice this until I was driving through Oklahoma at night, on the way home from Phoenix. But my vent only blows down into the footwells, and only blows cold air, even with the AC off. I have NO heat! It could be a bad thermostat on the Climate Control.

This is on the list to get fixed, but I can wait until the end of Summer.

I'm open to any DIY solutions.
