Is your passenger side HVAC vent much weaker than driver side?

My passenger side AC vent blows out much weaker than my driver's side vents. I would say around 20% as much air flow on all power levels. I was wondering if this is a bug or a feature. Its kind of nice given I only have a passenger maybe once a week so more air for me when I am alone. But if its not supposed to be that way then I'd like to have it looked at to avoid issues down the line. Can you all check and report back next time you're cruising around?

My passengers have never complained either. I'm just not sure if the AC system is supposed to function this way (drivers side being significantly more powerful than passenger). If everyone's is like this then I'm not too worried.

I'll check the next time I'm in it. I can tell you this the driver side air flow is the strongest I've had an any vehicle I've owned and love it!

My passenger yesterday told me that they noticed that the vent next to the door was noticeably less powerful than the vent next to the radio. I also noticed that for some reason if recirculation is turned on that all of the air vents move significantly less air.

I checked mine and the driver side center vent is definitely more powerful than the left one. That is a good thing to me and I enjoy the cool blast!
