warm air from under the steering wheel?

1. I recently noticed a warm air draft from near under the steering wheel (I only noticed it recently since I got my car 335 coupe in June 07, and had been using the A/C the past few months...and since the weather here in NYC was nice the past week, I had the A/C off and driver's window down)....it almost felt like I had the heater on at a low setting. Anyone else experienced this?? I don't have this problems with nay of my other cars. It's an auto without sports, so no oil cooler....temp usually hovers around 245.

2. BTW, my car took a extra few seconds to crank (intermittently), took the car to the dealership yesterday, they told me the fuel pump was on its way out, PUMA case approved today, will supposedly receive the new pump is approx 3 days per the SA.
3. Front of the car also making noise when I'm making a slow right hand turn....
4. finally, usually when the car is not warmed up, when i come to a complete stop, 2 seconds later, i'll feel a slight jerking movement, almost like the car skipped/changed gear while at a complete stop....

Man, it sucks to have so many problems for a new car (approx 2500 miles, 04/07 build)

Could 4 be the torque converter disengaging? I don't have an AT but I read it does that at 0 mph. Maybe it is felt more when the engine is not warmed up.
