Yours could be something else like out of frion. Could also have a leak in one of the lines as well. Reason I am saying this is I had cold air it just took forever to get there along with once it came on it would cut in and out.
I did not give it a half hour to kick on, for sure. I will say that both the high and low side lines felt either hot or warm, certainly nothing was cold with condensation dripping anywhere. I'm hoping just a charge as well, but not sure if they'll want to replace receiver/air dryer, etc . . .

Yeah I would get it in soon, this heat is not going away any time soon.

I don’t use it much, as I typically have windows down and soft top windows removed. But it’s worked great when I’ve used it over the past year.

I honestly asked myself the same question. The only original answer I was able to get was that they had no idea.

Mine doesn't work so I guess I'd better get it scheduled. I'm so afraid of something major and they need to keep the vehicle, but many in here seem to have simple fixes so I'm feeling better about it. I don't have any codes or anything, it simply doesn't blow cold at all.
Hi there – send a message to us with your VIN and approximate mileage. I’ll look into this for you. Thanks!

Thank you, but we've been in contact already (May), I just need to get to the dealer.

Well folks, CHEETO has air conditioning thanks to @Razorbak86 and his generosity of time he took to research and share his wealth of info. I was checking things he advised, and got to the area where a suspect sensor has been identified by others. Right next to the sensor is the plug that connects the compressor. Well, it wasn't plugged in, it was just floating above where it goes, and actually looked fine at first glance. I fished around just in case, and found it disconnected! I exaggeratedly positioned it for this pic, so you can see where it goes:

And plugged in:

I can't believe it was something so stupid, but damn am I happy it doesn't need to go into the shop and get torn apart! I guess they don't test the A/C in November (my build month), and I can't believe there isn't a screen warning or a code for a compressor not being plugged in and part of the circuit.

I took delivery in May, and have 2K miles so fas, with absolutely no issues , except: On very warm days, I noticed that external temp indicator starts dropping until compressor shuts off and cooling halts.
In fact, although 90degrees outside, external indicator dropped to minus 13 degrees! About 5 minutes later it started to climb , and cooling switched back on in about 10 mins when it eventually reached above 75 degrees.
Is this normal for the AC’s operation in hot weather, or is this an external temp sensor defect causing system to work improperly ?
