Passport A/C wont blow cold commiseration thread.

My ac is blowing relatively cold air but there isn't much of a difference when I'm at low or 60. Should I have taken to the dealership?

You’re not gonna notice much of a difference between 60 or low, you’re talking just a couple degrees between the two settings. As long as it’s blowing cold and you don’t have the AC leak at the condenser you should be fine. Make sure to use your recirculate button if you want the interior temp to be colder with ac (or warmer with the heater)

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. It doesn't seem to blow air as cold as the '09 4Runner I had before. Maybe it's just this Houston summer has been unreasonably warmer than usual

Yeah we’ve been getting 100s up here in OKC so I feel ya. But definitely keep an eye on the condenser in the area this TSB shows:

I purchased passport 1 month ago, and ac was not blowing out cold enough air and was not cooling car down on a 90 degree day, nor a 73 degree day. They told me nothing was wrong w it and that I can have a “master mechanic “ look at it tomorrow. I then I asked to speak to the manager and he told me it is blowing cold air and I said let’s go sit in the car. I asked him if he was aware of the passports problem w the ac and he said no not at all. I told him he then should look it up then and I showed him these threads. He tests it at the coldest setting first and it blew out 49 degrees, and he said that was cold enough. It was 73 degrees out and I told him it should be blowing out 43. Might not notice difference now but when it is 95 degrees outside you will. I then asked him to turn it to 72 which is where I usually comfortably sit in my old car and many other cars. At a setting of 72, it blew out 88 degrees. Finally, did the MANAGER say that wasn’t right. They gave a loaner car and told me the master mechanic could fix it (I am not pleased that a mechanic could not trouble shoot my air conditioner properly — seems like a simple serious of things to try when my complaint is that the ac is not blowing out cold enough air)

Anyways, I was told that the “ac was overcharged “ and that they reset it and drained and added new refrigerant . The work order says “failed part 38810-5j6-a22”. I had to google what that was and it is in fact the compressor.

I was also told that there was a recent recall on the audio system and would I like to fix it (by the way it took two hours to complete the fix, which was a software update ) I included this because I see many complaints about the audio system freezing up on this thread) .

Ac seems to now be working fine - View attachment 3876

Have exact same issue with my A/C. Worked all summer; however, since the temps have dropped, setting my temp to 67 - 70 it will only blow hot air untill I drop it to 60 - 61 to get cool air. Never had this problem in any of my other vehicles.
