Default 2013 Impala heater question

Over the summer I picked up a 2013 Impala LTZ.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
I don't think the heater is quite up to par and may have some air in they system.<o></o>
What supports my theory when I make left hand turns I get a blast of hot air<o></o>
Is there an air bleed on the heater core?<o></o>

For all vents?

Do you have an actuator problem? The AC is fine?

Frank3 might have a better idea. This is definitely a strange sounding problem.

Everything seems to be working correctly <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
What I see is I can cruise down the Interstate with everything set comfortably. <o></o>
With ambient temp in the single digits the car temp adjustment will be near highest position (what happens when it gets cold outside) <o></o>
Next when I get into town or make a sharp left hand turn I get a blast of hotter air from the heater.<o></o>
To me it seems like the turn causes a slug of hot coolant to the heater core <o></o>

I had the dual climate control set up recently.. cold my side, hold passenger side.

I made a left turn, and I felt the hot the passenger side.

You should get a temp gauge for automotive purposes and stick them in your all your vents and note the hot temp and see if they are all the same.
