While driving noticed inside of vehicle would overheat up to 120 degrees. This caused driver's legs to become very red. Had taken vehicle to dealership, and was informed by mechanic that problem was okay in the beginning. Went back to dealership, and was informed that problem lies with way vehicle was built. There was nothing that could be done. Vehicle was leased.
