Weak air conditioning

[Jesse H]

The temperature output at the vents are actually fine. It's the fan that seems to be weak.

In most vehicles with the AC set to auto it's a set and forget procedure. In my work Tahoe and personal Tacoma I leave it at 70. When I get in the them after they've been parked in the sun for a while it does what it should and automatically blasts the fan on high then ramps down accordingly as the cabin gets to the desired settings.

I'm constantly having to turn the temperature knob to get it to where I feel comfortable. Yesterday it was parked outside for a few hours (high 80's and sunny). Auto AC was set to 68 and you would think that the fans would automatically set to the highest and stay there for a bit. Instead the fans automatically set somewhere in the middle. I had to lower the temperature to 60 degrees in order for the fan to ramp back up, 20 minutes into the drive I'd have to raise the temperature to 68 to get the fan to lower. Having to constantly adjust an auto AC doesn't make much sense.

I do have the AC set to normal with concierge turned off. Curious if others have noticed having to override the auto setting to get your desired results?

Similar observation, but I'm finding the sweet spot is even more challenging with the heat. Especially when the outdoor temp is in the 50-60 degree range it is challenging to get a bit of heat. Even when I turn the auto setting off, it still wants to blow hot air.

There is an eco setting for the AC— make sure it is turned off via the Home Screen functions

That's turned off as well. It's going into the dealership tomorrow to fix some poorly installer PPF. Should be a good chance to ask about it along with asking them to disable the annoying seat belt chime and artificial engine noises.

I've noticed this same problem with the weak ass A/C blowing. The eco mode didn't really change a thing. Please let me know what you hear from the dealer, ours will be going back in soon.

That’s so strange because my a/c works so much better than any car I’ve had…and I’m in Florida.

Of course after I've changed all the settings we've been getting rain and overcast and I doubt we'll run into hot weather for the rest of the year. I completely forgot to ask the dealership about the AC.

They were able to turn off the fake engine noises but said corporate wouldn't allow them to turn off the seat belt chime.

Make sure the rear vents are turned on. Second option under the climate menu.

Ah, didn’t know the GX has also been saddled with fake engine sound pumped through the speakers. I really hate that. Glad the dealer can turn it off!

I turned off the Fake engine noise and seatbelts using Carista. you can also adjust the AC settings, but haven't played with it yet.

Please share more about this! Carista's website doesn't list our generation GX as a supported vehicle.

It works perfectly fine. It scans the ecu and allows changes.

My A/C works fine. No need to adjust temp settings.
