Turning both on is like putting any car on Max A/C, and makes a very noticable difference in the speed at which it cools down.

its SUPPOSED to be on recirculation after a/c system is "warmed up"

It was close to 100 today and I was on the freeway for about 30 minutes with the a/c on like 4-5 bars....

It never really got COLD like other a/c I have experienced. All it did was neutralize the heat. No tint on a black car in SoCal sucks

Yeah, people wont do that though. As a matter of fact, most wont even take it to the dealer, they will gripe and gripe about it on here but wont even take the time to go to the dealer. 99% of the issues people have here on SL should go to the dealer, yet I would say 80% of those never do, they just complain online. I understand that the dealer tries not to fix it in some circumstances, but place a thermometer in the vent. If it never gets down into the lower 40's, they cant really argue (at least not valid arguments). If your AC is pumping out 60 degree air all the time there IS something wrong.

the ac in my tc sucks and its a 2007. It takes a good amount of time to get the inside of the car cool and thats with the windows down at first and then recirculating after a few minutes. Eventually it gets cool but you really cant the air to come out ice cold. My honda accord got way colder, faster. I live in socal and im still bothered by it once and a while.
