On my wife's vehicle listed above (Limited model) the air blows fine on the passenger side and the rear vents.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Chances are the blend air door actuator for the left side has failed. This actuator is what is responsible for determining the air temp entering the vehicle.

Here is a link that explains how in general one is replaced:

Here are the directions specific to the left side on your vehicle. The attached pictures correlate with the directions. Also, the linkage may have come off, so you will need to inspect its operation and condition.
