As soon as the inside temp starts to drop, change the setting to 'recirculate' and see if that helps.

Yeah, something like that. He said once it gets into the 90s it will only blow around 68ish on max because of the amount a unit can drop the temp and gets warmer with every additional degree of ambient temp.

Thanks for saying that forgot to say that in my last post. when you first turn your a/c on don't have it on max a/c because it will have the "recirculate" on which will take the air that's already in the cab and recirculate it. you want to roll the windows down let the hot air get out, drive around a little with the a/c on let it cool down and once the temps start dropping were you aren't sweating your ass off completely hit the "recirculate" button or "max a/c" and it'll take that cooler air and cool it off(which in theory will cool cooler air faster than it could the hot air)

Yes sir, that's correct. something along the lines of that I just can't remember the actual amount difference allowed. I can ask the a/c tech tomorrow to confirm the correct amount if it's important :/

I agree with everything you guys are saying. Mines just blowing air not even really chilled. I'm taking it in Monday and leaving it until the tranny and Ac are fixed. Enough is enough.

Hopefully you can get it resolved. Might have gotten a car built on a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon.

That's a gd pt. Just my first domestic and all this happening feels like "I told you so". I'm hoping they can get it fixed.

I enjoy the Eskimo that sits behind my dash and throws snowballs at me in triple degree weather.

Honestly, mine is like ice, even at 101 and sitting in traffic, the fan was trying to suck the car in front of me thru the radiator but it was cold. And I leave my glass roof shade open and I don't have shade at work.. when you first get in your car and start it, turn recirculation off and leave the fan speed at half or one notch past, no more , and stay below 3,500 or 4,000 past that and it thinks you need power and turns the compressor off, when it gets cold turn recirculation back on.. you should be cold now
