Drove the '10 Mazda 3 today in warmer weather (mid-80s) and I found the A/C to be totally inadequate. Fresh air or recirculate, fan speed 2 or 4, it did not matter-- I was ready to melt. The A/C barely blew cold air. In fact, my sorta-broken Saturn A/C blows ice cubes in comparison.
Is this normal? I had the car at the dealer for an oil change EARLY this morning (when it was 55F out) and they tested the vent temperature of the A/C and found out it to be normal...of course. I mean, when it's 55F outside of course the vent temperature is going to be cold.
Ideas? The A/C warning light isn't on. I'm thinking about booking an afternoon appointment for a very, very hot day and taking a tech on a test drive with me so that we can sweat together, so that he cannot say no problem found.
