HVAC issues experienced?
It would seem that the interior temp sensor that controls the hvac output is not what it once was.
First day I had a problem it was trying to cool but it's as if a flap was closed so the fan was blowing but was not coming out of the vents.
More recently the regular AC will cool but it will slow the fan to near zero if you use auto, as if it THINKS the temp in the cabin is lower than it is, so you sit in a hot car while commanding 70 degrees.
If I lower it to LOW then it will try to cool.
manual mode will now blow plenty cold air if you command it.
Hope that makes sense.
