I recently posted a topic discussing that my A/C was not working very well as the cold air would only happen for a few minutes then it would shut off and only air would blow (or air would blow for a while then the cold air would blow). I appreciate all the replies and went to my dealer to discuss the problem. Of course everything checked out ok and of course the A/C was working great when I brought the car in.
Over the last few weeks I have noticed a trend. When my car sits in the sun and gets hot (interior), I have noticed that the A/C will not come on immediatley even when set to max (only blowing warm air). It usually takes a few minutes for it to start. If I open my windows to cool the interior, the A/C will respond and turn on, thus blowing cool air. This will only happen on Hot days when I am running errands and my car sits outside in the direct heat.
So I am thining that the A/C is reacting to the heat of the interior and will not fully come on until the interior temp has cooled down a bit, thus having to open the windows to cool down. Does this make any sense, and if this is the function of the car. I have never experienced this issue with any other car that I have owned
