Mysterious Cold Air in Cabin

this is new to me, so I ask if you have experienced the following:

while making a left/right turn in a 90 degree form (continuous driving), somewhere a cold breeze enters the front cabin. I noticed it while I had arm resting on the armrest with hand almost on gearshift. I looked around and sure no windows are opened, nor the sunroof is open.
Kinda of mystery to me...

Anyone else?

Again, sounds like a defective or disengaged duct damper rolling open and closed as you drive around. Very rare though in modern cars.

thanks MBRedux. Rare, yeah...but it's happening and will need to ask the service advisor when I get some more K's on the truck.

This may sound silly, but if you are driving alone, check to see that the passenger comfort setting is either in sync mode with driver side, if not it may be set at a cooler temp and when you turn the air from the passenger side moves to your side.

Just be glad its not a Sixth Sense Moment

thanks Leslielp.
the temp. is set both at same for the moment. It only happens when say going in a cul-de-sac or making a 45 angle turn. It's weird, but it is happening. I am not sure if I can describe it any other ways...

The answer was so simple..... not knowing how to work the dual climate controls!

On my CLK the vents in the middle can be set to cool air, don’t know if yours has the same, maybe it’s the cool air from those vents that moves about the cabin.
