For 3 years I have been dealing with an outside air temperature issue that will keep the air conditioner from coming on. This consistently happens in the spring and fall but will happen randomly in the summer as well. It has started happening again as spring has rolled around. My OAT updates first thing in the morning as I pull out of the garage, but when I get to work in the morning, whatever that temperature is at that time, that is the temperature my car will be when I start it up, either at lunch or at the end of the day. It almost always takes 5-7 minutes for the OAT to update and allow my air to kick on, but on occasion, it has taken over 30 minutes.
I have had it to 2 different dealers. 1 made it worse (I picked it up right before a road trip to Florida and my OAT read 40 below!). They ultimately replaced the OAT sensor and it did not help. The other said they have seen the problem before, but cannot replicate it on my vehicle and ultimately they have no idea how to fix it. I have about 1,000 miles before my warranty runs out, but they have assured me they have my account "notated." Yep, I feel better.
