I really am beginning to hate this car.
 
Fucking tranny is going and today the a/c barely blows cold. Goin dwn the hey it's bearable. At a stoplight I sweat my ass off. 34k miles and this car is shit. My imports I owned never had so much trouble. 80k on my rsx not one damn thing wrong. 99eclipse Gst ran perfect 140k miles. Pissed!

svt-eric 06-28-2013 05:08 PM

quit driving the shit out of it lol

not all cars are perfect from the factory

jng2985 06-28-2013 05:11 PM

Change fluids one... From an 09 fx4 the ac sucked!!! My shit right now is intermittent

Need i remind you today is one of the hottest day of the summer we've had thus far. Triple digit heat can cause some strange things and make a possibly already weak component more noticeable.

I agree. Going out with a high compression motor'd car right now blasting the AC is asking a lot of the car right now. Take it easy, keep the RPM's low if you have to drive around right now. I won't even leave for the meet tonight until its starting to get dark.

DirtyD 06-28-2013 05:25 PM

My ac did the same last night. Turn it off for a few second, then turn it back on with the fan speed on low. It will blow cold.

re-rx7 06-28-2013 05:43 PM

Ever since its been above 90 the Ac has been sucking ass not just today. When it's hot I don't ask a lot of the car. Never go above 4k rpm. Never. I used to own a rotary remember! Lol it's just a lot of shot for a 2yo car to have go wrong. I change the oil, fluids just like specified maybe more lol.

That's sounded like a compressor freezing up.

Idk Will it just hit me all at once. The Ac I thought was my imagination. Nope it wasn't. In perspective the 2013 accord my girl drives is A ok!

DirtyD 06-28-2013 06:07 PM

Mine has been blowing perfectly cold even with sitting in the sun uncovered all day at work.

why dont you take it in for service.:yuno:

JDMLOL 06-28-2013 06:25 PM

When it's in the triple digits it's tough for any ac to blow icecold. I can't remember the scientific reasoning, but I remember one of the hvac supervisors at my old job giving me this long spiel on why air conditioning units begin blowing warmer after a magic number around 90 something degrees outside and that there isn't much that can be done to make them blow icecold in triple digit heat. There's got to be someone on here with hvac experience that can chime in as to what this guy was telling me.

Oxford14Stang 06-28-2013 06:47 PM

Not a a/c tech but if I recall correctly the car a/c system will only cool about 11-15 degrees cooler than ambient temp. Its such a low difference you wouldn't believe it. Given a lot blow colder, just letting you know the allowed difference in a completely working system. But like what was mentioned before, take the car in under warranty. That's what its there for. Mine has the interior as cold as a freezer after idling for 3-5 minutes. Are your windows tinted? If not get that done asap helps it by 100% lol. Should be a Texas state law :/

rriddle3 06-28-2013 06:56 PM

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

JDMLOL 06-28-2013 06:57 PM

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 :/

re-rx7 06-28-2013 07:25 PM

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.

re-rx7 06-28-2013 07:27 PM

I have my windows tinted, I use a sun shade, and roll dwn the windows when I first get in the car. It did this parked underneath my awning where I live.

Oxford14Stang 06-28-2013 07:58 PM

Ah man, that just flat out sucks. Don't give up on ford quiet yet! I've owned nothing but fords and never had problems with them.

JDMLOL 06-28-2013 08:04 PM

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

re-rx7 06-28-2013 09:23 PM

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.

Luke 06-29-2013 07:22 AM

That sucks about your car, but be glad you don't work in 110+ with intermittent power at work

Damn thats cold.:iranmaybe:

fordplay 06-30-2013 07:45 AM

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

Dark Pony 06-30-2013 10:30 AM

I'll sell you a transmission ;-) lol

Any word on the car from the stealership?

re-rx7 07-03-2013 11:46 AM

Car went in today. Dad spoke with service mgr. They are evacuating and replacing the freon. The tranny will have to wait till they can order a tool they need to take it out. So bringin it back nxt week. The service mgr said that they will prolly give me a new trans just have to replace the bearing per Ford before they an request it. A to b to c kinda thing.

Grandpa 07-03-2013 11:48 AM

A special tool to remove the trans? That should be a normal thing in a dealership. Wtf..

Dominic Toretto 07-03-2013 11:49 AM

Manual transmission?
