2014 sho/pp A/C not blowing cold when driving

[shotime99]

Hey all!

anyone ever had the air conditioning blow cold while idling.. but as soon as you hit highway speeds it switches to outside air? I have had it it 3 different times at a dealership.. one time they even kept it 3 weeks and gave me a truck to drive.. but to this day it is not fixed because it is intermittent.. ya.. on hot days it quits. great!

I was told they changed condensor.. some temp switch that controls the engine fans and changed the pressure.. only thing I ended up with was turbo tubes not hooked up after leaving the dealership and no power because of it..

so ya! anyone ran into this non cold AC?

Typically, coolant level is low or the condensor in front of the radiator is plugged.  If you rev the engine while idling, does it switch to outside air?

That's all assuming there isn't an actual fault with some part of the HVAC system or the CCM itself.

How soon long does it shut down for?
Does it come back if you turn off a/c for a minute or two and turn it back on?
Only on really hot days?
Only on hiway or also in stop and go traffic when hot?
When idling and parked is it draining water out the bottom as it should?

Do you have torque or forscan?

funny I test drove a 2013 PWhite pp this weekend asking 23k with 40k on it... clean car fax..
so I thought everything was going to be ok with it,,

after having the car idle for about 15min before my test drive.
the passenger and rear  ac was blowing cold while the drivers side had no cooling affect. like out side air..
messed with the settings and no change... the Freon line in the engine was not cold ...im thinking its low on Freon.. ac compressor was working checked it twice to see if it would kick on..

If only drivers was warm and passenger/rear was nice and cold then it probably just had a bad blend door actuator.

i bet 66 Galaxie is correct.
Very common problem with these cars. Though the passenger side seems to more common.

I thought the same thing but.
The freon line not being cold... something off..

Also it's a pp and the brakes felt alil spongy.. I know it's a great price but too buy it and already invest money on none performance  parts kills...

Have them fix what is almost certainly a blend door problem, check/top off the refrigerant level (it won't be freon), and inspect/ repair brakes as part of the deal... Or reduce the price.... Just saying

Funny I spoke with the manager  he said all cars are as is...
It's a big used car dealer down her it's like carmax..
Sho still has power train warranty..

No accidents  reported but the front bumper was removed for some reason and the head light has markings from like a lkq yard...
The car is in really  great shape I'm just alil picky

How many miles on it?

I would be very suspicious and walk away from it too with signs of a possible collision, no warranty and existing problems that are easy and inexpensive for any kind of dealer to fix...

Interesting, I had the same thing happen to mine last year. No cold air. Turns out it was low on refrigerant. They topped it up and it's been fine ever since.

in love with the car.. I was looking at a fusion T but this white sho would match my lightning so well....  both are very nice. 

66.. the car wasn't in a big car accident or anything crazy..
s*** might be just a new head light  because the paint on the front bumper matches everything perfect.  I might track down the original owner and ask him a few questions

Have a good mechanic do a pre purchase inspection and thorough inspection of the body/chassis when it is up on a lift.

Bumper may have been removed for something simple like the a/c condensor or?

Good luck!
