I've noticed in the past few weeks, the air will start blowing in my face (when I had it on floor) on it's own after driving for 10-20 minutes. WTF? Any else have this happen? :wtf2:

Yes, my Q does it too. It's because some guy in a cubicle in Japan knows better what makes you comfortable than you do. Drives me nuts, I would like to be able to set it to what I want, and have it stay that way. I don't even like auto trannys, but even less climate control that can't be overridden.

What's happening is it's warming up, either inside, outside or both, I'm not sure, and it's decided that you no longer need heat at your feet.

But, but, but, I've been driving it for 2 years, and it just started doing it. Was it on a long term time delay?

I've only seen it a few times, I think the circumstances have to be just right for it to happen.
