Is this a factory issue ? what should I do

Oh boy...we've had huge arguments on this forum about the "warm air from vents, even on full cold" issue.
Some of the lesser intelligent posters insisted all cars do this, while numerous others(myself included) have never owned a car that did this and we aren't retarded. Vent on full cold always equaled cool/cold air inside, as expected...not on this car.(OF COURSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COOL WEATHER!)
The only solution I have found is to tun the temperature setting all the way to hot, then turn the vent selector all the way over to one of the last 3 settings, any of the three that has the defog icon(the little windshield icon). Then turn the temp to cold and wait a few seconds, then return the vent selector back to the setting you want.
1) temp all the way hot
2) turn vent to 1 of the 3 defog settings(last 3)
3) temp back to cold, wait a few seconds
4) vent back to...
It usually works. This is the result of a cheaply designed A/C system. And when the people come in claiming all their previous cars did this too, my response is that those were also cheaply designed A/C systems. Hondas haven't done this in the 20+ years I've driven them, so obviously an A/C system CAN be built/designed where warm/hot air doesn't come in when on the full cold setting...unless of course it is hot outside, not the 60F degree or less outside air we are talking about.
