I just picked up my 2012 Kia Sportage EX about 6 months ago and I am not sure if this is a problem or I am going crazy.

My wife and I were on a roadtrip the past 2 weeks and I noticed there is no way to turn the a/c or heat off.

I have the fans on 0 and I can still feel it blowing hot or cold. I tried every variable but nothing would stop the blower.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is this calling for a Kia Service Appointment?

I think that's because the air pressure coming from the outside when you drive. Try put the air recycle on.

Air recycle and then turn off. That should help.

One question - was it while driving or when parked?

If parked - talk to KIA
When driving - follow SlovaKIA

It's the "fresh air" system I assume. Even when my SX air/heat is off (dual zone climate control model) it still trickles in air through the cabin filter from the outside. May be wrong, but search for that in your manual.

Again, even when off, my system can still shuffle vent positions via button and the "fresh air" trickles in from chosen vent.

On second thought, I think it's called "clean air" system. It says that in mine right below the dual zone climate control panel/buttons...

correct, even in "circulate mode" fresh air is being blown from far side vents.
However, in max A/C with circulate you do not get any air from outside.

And my personal thoughts: why would one want to completely shut down air flow? In this case - adjust temperature to comfortable level and leave it that way.

Turning it off allows you savour your farts for much longer, if you're into that kind of thing ... :lol:

^^ Wha??? LOL...

I am wondering if even if the blower is on with the AC off if this is a negative drag on MPG? I seem to have seen this phenomenon happen when I first owned the Sportage EX on my first few tanks of gas and seeing the MPG on the trip computer rise from AC off - blower on to AC off - blower off.
