    Hi all,
    I have a 2001 Toyota 4runner which I bought November 2023. I love these vehicles as they are so well built. When driving any distance, the console gets hot but not quite too hot to touch. Recently, while my son was driving and I was in the passenger seat I felt hot air "blowing" between the passenger seat and the console. But when we were at a full stop, I didn't seel the hot air "blowing". As soon as we started moving, the hot air started "blowing again. Are there supposed to be some kind of heat shields underneath the console or on the underneath of the vehicle to keep heat from entering the cab? This thing gets really uncomfortable especially on longer commutes. Any ideas on how to fix this? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks
