Idle curiosity, no idea if this would make any difference (I'm absolutely not an engineer)--I've seen a number of folks complaining about the AC performance and they've got it set to Auto. For those with poor performing AC, is it just as bad if you take it off Auto and manually set the fan speed?
Yes, after weeks of 90 degree temps I'm sure most of us have tried everything.
I'm still less than happy with my AC performance, but still hopeful for improvement one way or another.
RT7 thanks for the checkin with a factory guy. If people aren't complaining to the dealer, the issues won't get logged and the factory will never look at it. Ilovegrits, be very interested to see what yours says.
I do have the random switch from recirc to fresh air, but not often. I do have a 6 degree temp difference between drivers and passenger side.
I can get tolerable temps out of the system in recirc, but it doesn't help with the wall of heat which is radiating off of my dash and windshield. There seems to be very little air movement between the dash and windshield, so when that's heated up to 100 degrees it is staying that way.
I have noticed that in 90 degree temps I just can't put the system on fresh air mode, around town or on the highway - the air coming out is just not cold enough. I have a friend with a black on black explorer and in a parking lot on the same day it was completely different.
