Haunted?
We have a 2016 Impala LT that seems to be haunted.
When we start the car after it has been off for a while, either overnight or just while we were shopping, the comfort controls have reset to lower settings.\
The passenger temp control will be down to 60 degrees & the blower speed will be down to low. The drivers' temp. control does not change.
The car was previously a rental car with Enterprise Rentals so someone may have done something to make it do this.
If this is so, how can I cure it from doing this?
Or, is it haunted?

It's short for Ambient Air Temperature sensor.
Its a very small device mounted ahead of the A/C condenser, usually behind the front grill. It is part of the Climate Control System, but to my knowledge it effects the A/C system much more so, then the heating system, if at all. It's the same device that allows the vehicle to read the outside temperature and display it on the dash panel.
Since your issue is cold temps out of the climate control box, I don't believe it's an issue. If it were, they are $4 or $5 dollars, and easy to replace on most vehicles..
