Hey everyone I was recently in the NorCal area where the temps were over 105 degrees and noticed that my AC was not blowing as cold as I would have expected for a new car. I had people ask me if the AC was on full blast as they were feeling warm. I even have full ceramic tint at 15% and clear ceramic tint on my windshield, which should help block a lot of heat. The air is cold but doesn't have that Ice cold bite to it that my old 2017 4Runner had.
When I got back home, I had my dealership replace the AC compressor but it feels like it did before replacement . I have an AcuRite indoor temp monitor and after driving 30 mins with the AC on full blast at the lowest temp setting, the coldest it registered was 70 degrees, with the outside temp read 90 degrees on the car dash. My 2010 corolla with no tint hit 70 as well so I would think the lexus should be colder. If the outside temp was hotter around 100, the inside of the GX would be hotter for sure.
Does anyone else know any other areas to check to see why my AC doesn't feel cold?
Another issue that I am noticing is that after a recent 5K maintenance with tire rotation, now and then at low speeds and when turning, I get feedback in my brake and acceleration pedals. It almost feels like a slippage or when ABS engages.
When I take my car to the dealership again, I want them to look at this brake issue as well. Does anyone know where I can help point them to look for this weird feedback issue?
Im a little disappointed in this purchase with so many issues I've had on a brand new $70K car. Not sure if it being the last gen and the factory being retooled or something leading to not a lot of attention to build, but I've had to take this car back to the dealership now 3-4 times , for wiper issues, subwoofer rattling, AC compressor.
