He needs more power to run the ac compressor?

There is a tsb out for the AC. My VIN falls under the range, but mine works great, at least up to 101 degrees which is as hot as I have driven it in

I Had this problem too..it would take forever to cool down..I took it in they checked it out and nothing wrong with it. I had had the car a year now and only 7,600 miles. The a/c problem seemed to work itself out IMO. Havent had a problem with it for a long time...even when it's hot outside seems to cool faster then it used to. GO FIGURE!

summer's gone, you'll probabaly won't need AC for a little while. i thought mine wasn't cooling as fast, but the techs said i have enough refrigerant(sp) as specified in the tsb.

I live in SoCal too. The A/C for me doesn't cool down as much as I would like it to, but I rarely use it anyways so I guess it doesn't really matter. I drive with the windows down and the only time I turn on the A/C is when I really need it like when I drive girls around and stuff. I get pretty cheap when it comes down to stuff like this. Haha
