Recently I've noticed a couple problems on my 2009:
1. Main problem is the driver side air only comes out the main vents (at hand level on the dash). If set (manually or auto) to foot air, it still comes out the main vents, no air by your feet. If you press the defrost button, it just comes out more furiously from the main vents. No air comes out the defrost vents. Which is sort of a problem in Colorado in winter.
Strangely, passenger side foot vents do work. But under no condition does air come out the defrost vents.
The rear seems to work as normal.
2. Related: Climate system doesn't initialize for 30-60 seconds after start. Sometimes it remembers the settings but sometimes it doesn't. I know this usually has to do with the cabin air filter or recirc flap. I had this problem before but just reseated my air filter to fix it. My recirc flap is slightly broken, it doesn't close quite all the way. But it didn't cause this issue before.
