While there was nothing wrong with the AC system itself, the computer would decide how much cool air could be allowed in with the automatic thermostat. Apparently it thought I didn't need to be cool through the entire summer. As a salesperson who travels, this was a major inconvenience. I sent it to the dealership 6 times over 2 summers spending over $1200 dollars and it still isn't fixed. Now they say they should have replaced the $400 computer in the first place, but I guess they hadn't gotten enough money out of me yet. I believe that this same computer is also responsible for other dashboard system failures, such as the dash lights blinking on and off. A temporary solution seems to be unplugging the battery overnight to allow the system to reset itself.
