A/C Problem?
Had my C7 for a month or so. I went to switch the A/C on today going to work. At 70 to 72, it was blowing fairly warm air. When I dropped it to 68 and below, it got that normal A/C "chill" to it.
I'm thinking it may not be calibrated correctly. 70 shouldn't feel "cold" per se, but it was blowing warm/heated feeling air IMO.
Bring it in to get checked?

Mine does the same thing. I usually turn it down low enough to get cold air and it self corrects. Kinda has a mind of its own. Always cools excellent just have to lower the temp for a while.

Not to hijack the thread, but my preferred setting is 69 degrees, but I find that on startup it either blows "full blast" cold or warm air, and takes a while to "settle in". By full blast I dont mean fan speed, I mean temperature.
Is that normal? Most times I either wait it out or like the OP, dial in a different temperature and then dial back to 69 later.

Conversely, sometimes it pushes heat in similar situations, i.e. outside temp is a bit lower than inside setting, and heat comes on full blast although not needed.

Its pretty reliable/comfortable in my Pontiac G8 GT DD, I set it at 69 degrees and pretty much never touch it and don't notice the swings I see in my Vette.

The best GM system I ever had was my 1990 C4 coupe. That car pretty much followed the set in temperature. I don't think my body would stand for 69 degrees. I set mine around 74 or higher most of the time.
