You may want to have it check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes . A code may point to the problem , these HVAC systems are very complex .
DTC B0248, B0268, B0408, B0418, B0428, or B3531
The HVAC door actuator is an electronic motor with a feedback potentiometer. The HVAC control module supplies power and ground to the actuator. The HVAC control module controls the direction of the actuator by changing the polarity of the control circuit. When the actuator reaches the desired position, voltage is removed from the control circuit. The HVAC control module determines the current position of the actuator by monitoring the feedback voltage of the door position signal circuit. The feedback potentiometer position is a function of the actuator position.
• Air flow control 3 circuit refers to the front mode actuator
• Air flow control 7 circuit refers to the recirc actuator.
• Temperature control 1 circuit refers to the driver air temperature actuator
• Temperature control 2 circuit refers to the passenger air temperature actuator
• Temperature control 3 circuit refers to the rear air temperature actuator
• Air flow control 10 circuit refers to the rear mode actuator

Do you know what a scan tool is ?
Install a scan tool.
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
With a scan tool, command the appropriate actuator in both directions.
Does the actual parameter of the appropriate actuator change?
When you change the heat system to read deg C, the outside air temp will also read deg C. To change between F & C press and hold the recirc button on the heat control and then press the + on the drivers side.
The temperature blend door on the driver's side might be broken or stuck. Also, if this vehicle does not have the correct amount of refrigerant, it will do what you are describing.
