Another issue with my First Edition - AC stopped working

[Clean68]

For those of you who didn't read my other thread, about one month ago my brakes failed, hill assist failed, Collision Assist failed. All my screens flashed red. It was rather terrifying as I was driving on a mountain with no brakes. I had it towed to the dealer and they stated all the modules needed to be updated and its good as new.

Well today, (I know this is minor), but now I am waiting for more to happen. My AC stopped working, the air just blows hot, as if the heater is up all the way, the only way it is somewhat not hot is when I have max ac on or the temp set low. The recirculating air only stays on for about 2 min then turns itself off as well.

Has anyone else had this happen? I am going to start to looking into lemon laws, as a $62,000 car should not have these issues, when it is one month old. I am truly regretting this purchase and thats so disappointing since I waited so long, and now it is plagued with issues.

sounds like a stuck thermostat, but I'm no mechanic.

It’s a first year vehicle it’s going to have issues. Kinks don’t get worked out until year 2/3.

First year vehicle these things happen take it to the dealer let them fix it and enjoy it

I had a similar issue on my f250 diesel. It happened when I installed a cold air intake which requires removing the MAF. For whatever reason when the MAF is touched the A/C goes out . I cleared codes, reset modules, disconnected batteries but nothing fixed it. It fixed itself by sitting overnight. I proceeded to do the install again since I returned it to stock and it worked fine. I recently had to clean my MAF sensor so I had to unplug it. Same thing happened. It seems completely unrelated but somehow affects the A/C. Maybe it's an issue with your MAF but then I'd assume your engine wouldn't run correctly. My truck runs just fine without the MAF which isn't like a normal vehicle.

Lemon laws specifically say the exact issue has to be dealt with by the dealer three times without resolution. (I think within 30 days.)

Honestly if you are that dissatisfied, flip it for the ridiculous money that people (not me) are paying right now for FE's and laugh all the way to the bank. That payday would not happen if you take the Lemon route.

I could be wrong but I think the connection between the two is cold start mode. When AC is on I think you go into this mode and there is a change in A/F ratio.

I have also noticed the air recirc. only stays on temporary. Wonder what that could be.

Your problem is you bought a first edition. Never buy a year-1 model unless you really don't value your time or having a reliable vehicle.

They fixed the 1st issue...and now the AC isn't working...and you want to lemon law it? That's darling....

Sounds like the blend door is stuck.

I’ll buy it.

Could be the blend door actuator. Happens quite often on modern vehicles.

My exact thoughts...bringing up lemon law so early in the game...
