Dampers not operating as they should. The HVAC design depends on the various damper vents moving to correct positions to seal off the air flow thru the heater core. There is no on/off valve, the coolant is always flowing in there.

Also could be that cooling system in front (radiator) is not doing a 100% job, and the heater core is hotter than normal.

Don't depend on heat gauge, it will show center normal fom 130-240F Use a scanner on the OBDII port to be sure.
