Hey all!
I have a 2010 Forester 2.5X Premium that I've been having some issues with the AC on. Basically when it is hot out and I turn on the AC, the air coming out of the vents cycles between very cold and outside temp (hot) air in about 45 second intervals. It's not an instantaneous thing and is more like a waxing and waning of the temperature. As far as I can tell, the compressor is not fully kicking off and back on.
I have now taken it to the dealership twice... this second time getting SOA involved and the dealership now keeping it for 3 days. Both times they are saying that it's operating normally; however, none of the models I test drove did this (and I test drove about 10 different ones).
SOA said that this shouldn't happen... noone else I know thinks it should either... but I need to know from other 2009 / 2010 owners what theirs does.
Those of you with the Limited's would be excluded, as you have the automatic / temperature set AC controller where I have the manual.
I'm about to go pick up the vehicle from the dealership (it's Wednesday and they've had it since first thing Monday morning). I don't know what to do! When it's 90 degrees plus here and the AC is cycling between spitting out hot air and regular air... it kind of defeats the purpose!
Thanks guys!
