You will never get Hot, or even warm air from the center vents. Nothin's broken, that's the way the car is designed.

my car never puts out hot hot air when its in auto mode... even on max... for hot hot air you have to select defrost... that pumps extremely hot air at the highest fan speed... I am never uncomfortable in my car... but then again temps haven't dropped below 35 here yet either.

And btw... your car will warm up faster if you start it and drive it straight away. And it's better for the engine and you don't run the risk of it being stolen while it sits there and warms up.
