I bought a 2014 QX60 Hybrid back in Jan 2014 and I just noticed that there's very little air (if any at all) that's coming out of the vents at the 3rd row. It doesn't seem that there's temp control either. (Both 1st and 2nd row seats have heaters on, but the very little air that occasionally comes out of the 3rd row is cold.) Has anybody experienced the same issue? I already went to the dealership and they told me that it's normal and very common for large SUVs such as the QX60.

You don't have an issue. They air is coming out the bottom (floor) vents because it is heat rather than a/c this time of year. The rear temp is controlled by the temp setting for the middle row. Although it does have its own blower and intake (in the way back on the right).

I had the same issue. We noticed that the back blower didn't blow right away. After playing around for sometime with the controls the back vents started to blow air.

+1 I had the same issue. During the summer, the 3rd row vents will blow cold air.

Thanks everyone for your responses.


hnp4430 - do you recall how you made your 3rd row vent work?

Basically make cold air come out, like force the a/c to run on LO, and it'll come out the 3rd row vents near ones arm. If you have heat on it will not come out those vents. Basically cold air comes out those 3rd row vents and warm air wil come out the floor. You cannot force the vehicle to make hot air come out those vents.

Am I right those who have experimented with this?

Not sure. Will have to play around with it a little more and see if AC is only air that blows through the third row vent and heater will only blow through the floor.

Or the OP can just try that out and experiment/learn how it all works.
