Default Same here

In fact, my wife (who sits in the back with my 5 year old son) once yelled at me "Why are you blowing cold air on us back here." We now keep those side vents closed

Default there is a setting in the ac head setup where you can control if you want your center vents

blowing cold air all the time. you possible have that set to all the way cold

I had this problem yesterday, my daughter was in back saying she was cold, the center vent was warm but both pillar vents were cold. Has anyone found a fix for this?

But it's wierd. Sometimes I even get hot air blowing out from the side vents (but ice-cold air from the center and rear vents) on a hot summer day even when the A/C is on full.
Mixing valve needs to be cleaned. Many posts on this, use the search function to learn how to address.

The pillar vents are useless. They blow hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
