Need Help. AC problems

dcarter199209 · 02-07-2018, 09:31 AM

I currently own a 2013 ActiveHybrid 3. I am having issues with the AC and it seems to be mainly on the driver side. After turning the temperature all the way down possible, and turning the knob in between the 2 middle vents I am still receiving hot air when it is hot outside. The passenger side always blows a little cooler, but never cold like it should.

I have already had a AC recharge done, but it didn't seem to fix anything. I have been told that it could possibly be the blend doors not opening and closing like they should.... Has anyone had this issue before.

Was the recharge done at the dealer or independent shop?

Is your vehicle still under factory warranty?

Recharge was done at an independent shop. And no my car is no longer under warranty unfortunately. I am wondering if the AC issue has anything to do with the auxiliary battery going bad.
