My AC works unbelievably great. I have it set on Auto, and I can barely keep it on 74 when it's 100 degrees outside. Freezes me! For what's it's worth, I like it cold. I keep it 66 in my house when I sleep at night.

Capt. Obvious just called, he says the OP should get his AC looked at.

you can easily take care of this by doing the following: a couple of minutes before you get to your destination, turn off the AC but leave the blower on. this will help to dry out the lines and you wont have any moisture for the next time you turn on your AC. there are also sprays to take care of this mold issue.

other than the sour smell here and there.... mine is perfect!

Maybe your a/c is broken. My 09 Journey blows cold as heck. In fact my R12 based a/c in my Civic is a lot less colder than the one in my G. I normally keep the a/c on the first setting because it can cool the car so easily. I have to keep my civic on the highest speed otherwise there's no way I'll be cool in the car.

No problems with my '09 G37x. Even when it's 95 out, I set the auto AC to 73 but in 5 minutes I have to set the auto temp at 75 or 76 to keep from freezing.

Yeah but what sucks is that i never have to do these kind of special steps in my sisters honda civic, or lexus rx300. The moldy smell comes and goes, its ridiculous, and sucks when i have a passenger.

My AC is nice and chilly though, i'm a big fan of cold air.

Thank you all for your input and comments.

How many of you have a dark color outside w/ black interior? I wonder if this could be a major factor that make the car AC feel not as cold as my other two (both silver color outside, black interior for LGT and dark gray color for the 4Runner). Do you park in the shade or directly in sunlight? If directly in sunlight, how long does it take your AC to cool the interior until you feel comfortable?

I have platinum graphite (essentially, dark tan exterior) with black interior and it bakes in the 100 degree heat all day and when i get in the car, the seats are very hot and the steering wheel is also hot, but it takes about 2-3 minutes of the A/C blowing on it's auto setting to make things tolerable, and about 5 minutes before it's blowing freezing cold air.

After you drive, how long does it take the fan to lower it speed or to reach a comfortable inside t°? I have a short distance drive 20~30 minutes and the fan is still blow at its max speed and the interior is still hot (I am sweating) by the time I am home. My other two car just need 5 minutes to cool the car down to a comfortable t° i.e not sweating.

I would take it in to the dealer... this doesn't sound normal.

Yes, it sounds like you have a problem. We have a 2006 Legacy GT (light interior) and 2009 G37x (dark interior), and I like the AC on the G37 better. My wife and I both find the GT's heating and cooling to be a weak spot.

I think the AC in the G37 works quite well. It was 95 degrees here today and I have a black obsidian sedan with graphite leather that was parked outside most of the afternoon. Once the AC kicked in, the car was cool in less than 30 seconds.

I thought it took 10-20 sec the fan to blow freaking cold air..at least I felt as that fast.
