The Blower Motor powers down while switching between modes using the Buttons. Is this normal?
Also there is a lot of blowing noise when it is on the floor mode or mixed mode but not a lot air velocity in floor mode.
Also not a lot of Velocity on the defrost.
Dashboard Vent Mode works as expected.

Car is 2018 so I expect it is just normal. I am just expecting more velocity on the floor or the Defrost. Was hoping the Directional Baffles weren't getting stuck or something.

For one thing, the defrost has so much opening area that any velocity disappears in the much greater area there. Velocity and air amount delivered are NOT the same thing.
