Is your anti-freeze/coolant topped off? Or, it could be a bad thermostat.

Do you have a wife or GF in the car that keeps messing with the climate control?

Is it auto climate control? The only reason I ask, I had a V70 that did the same thing. The thermometer is in a little grill on the front of the unit. The kids jammed something in there and broke the thermometer (of course they denied it). And the whole unit had to be replaced because it got confused and would cycle between heat and cold.
