Well I got the call from the dealer yesterday 3 hours after I drooped it off And they told me( service dept guy ) the reason it was soon this because my incabin sensor ( by right knee of driver , little slotted part next to radio ) was clogged with dandelion seeds n fuzz type material and it was all cleaned out ready to be picked up and works fine
I get there ( they didn't charge me ) And service guy says let's take a walk and see I in action ... We go , blows warm at 78 , I try 74& 72 blows cool air. Alot cooler than 72 or 74 should be .... We go up to 80 ( little warmer but doesn't feel like 80 ). He brings out his infared thermometer ad it's reading 88. So I said his unit has to be broken ..... I turned it to 90 and it was scorching hot. Now something doesn't make sense
Mechanic who worked on my truck comes out and says he didn't find any error codes and did clean alot out of the sensor. So I was telling him I still was having issues and when I explained what was happening the reply I got was ( of no one told me this ) Etc. so apparently dealers employee don't talk to wag other and explain what is going on , they only rely in what machine says when you plug into it. Anyway .... After i told service guy it still doesn't make sense to me why it blows got at 74 one day and next day cold at 74 he told me I can leave the car because they thought it was fixed and since I wasn't happy they will look at it further ... I complained and they sent me a senior tech .....
He basically said the whole unit is in auto mode without being turned into auto mode. So if cabin is 78 and I want 74. The heat isn't really going to be blowing heat as it will be a little cooler to reach the 74. It also goes by what outside temp is vs in cabin etc. he said how the whole system operates is shit. ( without actually saying it ) so after all this all I know is my sensor was clogged n I didn't get charged. Lets see what happens and my next call will be consumer affairs.
