2022 - you have warranty.

Forget the forum and other peoples experiences. Take it to the dealer. Every. Single. Time.

 

I ALWAYS turn my A/C on to the LOW setting to start (I have so in every vehicle I have ever owned). That is the quickest way to achieve the desired temp range. I manually turn the knob to a higher setting once the desired temp range has been reached. This car is smart. It will run the A/C as lightly as possible in an effort to achieve the best fuel economy. To override this, turn the knob to LOW. Similar to getting more power out of the drivetrain. Shift into S for more power but watch your gas gauge drop faster in turn.

 

Auto Climate Control for the win.

It works better than the driver trying to control cabin temps manually. It auto controls everything, including the fan blower. Note: if you touch any of the manual controls though it disables Auto Climate Control until you re-enable it.

Separately.....there are temperature sensors inside the cabin that drive the climate control system, and it is possible that HDoc has some issue with the closed loop temperature control system somehow. 2022.... go straight to the dealer to discuss and evaluate your concern.... because that is what your bumper to bumper factory warranty is for.

 

Is that option available on my meager EX model?

 

Do you not have an auto climate button?

As to the OP, I set mine at 70 all year. The high fan does not immediately kick in, but it does in less than a minute. Either you are not using the control properly (Is the light on the button on?) or it's time to visit the dealer.

 

My guess is that the air sensor in the cabin is not working. It's usually located on the driver side behind the lower panel. Since it is a new vehicle, I'd ask the dealer to figure it out.

In Car Air Sensor

It would be item #3

 

Thanks everyone. For now I’ll leave it set at 63. When I take it in for oil change and state inspection I’ll have the dealer check it out and I’ll post the findings.

 

So....I finally got to the dealer for my oil change and State Inspection. I asked them to check the climate control and explained that on hot days if I don't set the temp to 63 the fan quickly cycles down and the car never cools.

I was told that this was normal operation for the climate control system. They went on to explain how a climate control system operates by comparing the interior temp to the outside temp, yada yada yada. I told the service writer that I understand how the climate control system should work and that I had most recently had a 2019 Acura RDX that was "set and forget". He told me, bottom line, that if I want the temp to be 70 degrees on a hot day, I need to turn the temp down to 63 or lower, then raise it to 70 when it gets near the temp I want. He also told me that he had had to explain this to 5 other customers just this month. (The fact that he has had to "explain" this repeatedly is a sign, to me, that there is a problem with the climate control design.)

This clearly seems to be a software issue. I suppose I will have to live with it as is, but a climate control system is supposed to maintain a temperature in an efficient fashion and not require changing input on the part of the driver. Interested to hear if any other members have to constantly adjust the temperature control on a very hot day.

 

That's how mine works. Yes, it's software related. As in, it's programmed this way to maximize fuel economy. Everything about the Gen V is designed around fuel economy.

 

Since there are still Gen5's on the lot new, wander out there with a service advisor and have them demonstrate how normal this all is. (Because it isn't.) The service advisor is blowing smoke in order to avoid the luckless tech is stuck getting paid for peanuts for a diagnosis that is likely to be a pain in the rear.

Yes, the Gen5 is an efficient vehicle, but it's not stupid. (And there's no efficiency gains to be had either by screwing this up.)

 

Its not going to "get fixed" because of your grumbling about it, so knock it off. Tired of hearing about it from you. There is so, so many bigger issues in the world to be concerned with.

 

I did find some information online about overall defective heating,air conditioner system. Actually has something to do with inside the lines . I can't remember specifically what but it is within your year. Search info. Try motorbiscuit web site
