Cold Air in Front/Hot Air in Back
2014 ES300h
I turned my thermostat to 80 and noticed that the front vents blew ice cold air (as if it were on LOW or at 65) and the back vents blew hot air.
When the "dual" mode was on, the driver side vents were still ice cold, the passenger side vents were warm, and the back vents were warm/hot.
Has anyone encountered this issue or know what the problem might be?
TIA for your input.

The dash top vents "Defrost" and the floor vents (including the rear seat vents) move warm air.
The radio level vents blow cooler air. The "Auto" function of the HVAC system selects the best
combination based on your temp setting and ambient temp. Select Climate and watch the Mode
arrows Defrost/Dash/Floor flick on and off as you raise and lower the temp settings. Your observation
of temps seems correct for an 80 setting with ambient lower than that.
