Default 2013 GT A/C quit

Any one else having an issue with their 2013 Auto GT A/C malfunctioning? Ours quit last week, no known cause. You can hear the compressor and fan kick on when the button lights up, but no cold air (act like its stuck on vent...but there is no vent setting)...

Wife is giving me grief since its a new car...need to get this fixed.

In true Gremlin form, I took it to the dealer and it worked just fine for them, even during the 20 mile test loop. Drove out, next morning, no A/C.

WTF....

talking it back in next week...

Do a post search for the OP, it sounds like it was tune related or that the part associated with the problem finally gave out completely.

My issue was a loose wire on the external thermometer that monitors outside air temp that switches the system to fresh air from recirc when the temp drops below a certain point. With it not working, it was drawing in outside air which lowered the efficiency of the cooling system...took two runs back to the shop for them to figure it out...

Mine started randomly working the other day. Now, the compressor will only engage when the car first starts up, and will only stay on for a few minutes at best. Sometimes, very randomly, it will work for an entire trip. This morning on the way to the dealership, it didn't work at all. Bought my car at a Chevy dealer 3 months ago, and bought their GMPP warranty which was described to me at the time as a "bumper-to-bumoper" warranty for 36k miles, just like if I bought the car new. Right now, it is sitting at a reputable Chevy dealer here in Wichita, so hopefully I don't get bent over on this one...

Hopefully I have an answer today on what is exactly wrong, and that it can be fixed within a few days so I can drive it back home.

Lets hope they know the difference between a Ford compressor and a Chevy one.... jk I am sure they know exactly what they are doing lol. Funny story on buying car's from another makes dealerships. I met this guy at a car show a few months back that got a Roush Black Jack from a BMW dealership. They sold it to him for 34k car had about 25k miles on it. They thought the signature on the dash was not supposed to be their and asked him if he wanted to removed lol.

No good man. Definitely encourage your neighborhood Ford dealer to get the issue resolved

I'm away from home on business right now, and my local Ford dealer back home is crooked anyways.
