You might have a blend motor flap issue, or you just left it in fresh air mode, and forgot to put it in recirculation.

dunno if the electronic climate control is any different, but i know that happens on manual control if you have it in fresh air mode and if you have it set for the air to come out at your feet, even though the fan is off. this has happened on every car i have owned. change the vent that the air comes out of or put it on recirculate and it will block the outside air from blowing in.

It never occurred to me to switch the supply air to recirc to stop the incoming air. On nearly every car I've owned, tt has always annoyed the hell out of me that even when I had the HVAC control off, air would still come in.

lol yea you can feel it immediately if you have it pointed at your face while driving down the road and hit the recirc button.
