AC Help

Hey guys,

I have a 2012 Lariat, bought in December. Now that it's hot in Texas, it doesn't seem my AC is up to the task of cooling the truck. It eventually gets cold but takes a loooonnnngggg time. Have had several Fords and GM vehicles, this is by far the worst AC I've owned.

Any other owners seeing this?

Thanks,

WS

Mine is working great in the DFW area. Let the dealer take a look at it. I always felt my '08 had a bad A/C. Not the case with the '11

This is the first A/C system that freezes me.
It's not the best when running wide open (nor is any vehicle AC system) but keep it at half and it gets cold.
It's not August yet so your A/C should be fine.
I would discuss with your dealer.
