Ok... I've heard people talk about not having cold A/Cs because Scion had put too little refridgerant into the car. Supposedly this only happened to the first batch or two of the tCs.

I was unable to check whether the A/C in the tC was cold enough or not cause we've had a pretty mild summer until yesterday. It was blazing hot (for me... that would start at the low 80s. ok... i'm a heat weakling

)! But anyways... I rolled down all the windows and opened the sun roof to let all the hot air out of the car... then I turned on the A/C and let that run for a while when I was driving. After a few minutes, I rolled up the windows and closed the sun roof and let the A/C blast. I let that go for a while and well it was still very hot in the car... the A/C didn't really feel cold. I don't know if its just me or if it is supposed to be like that. Have you guys experienced the same thing??? How long did it take for your cars to cool off??

I'm jealous Eric... u sure someone didn't hook u up with extra refridgerant??

Anyways... i checked the weather channel for official temps and it was actually in the mid-high 90s yesterday. That could be why the AC didn't feel cold... who knows...

Ice cold in under 5-mins. as well. It has really be put to the test these past few days here in CA. 101, 103, 103, 102 for the past 4 days.

I want your A/C... I'm in SoCal and in the past few days mine has taken forever to cool down... not even cold... so ICE COLD is definitely not even within reach. I'm so so so jealous. I'm usually the only one in the car so body mass or temp is not an issue. Hmm... I will definitely have the techies check it out next time I'm at Scion. Thanks guys / gals for your info.

...I was sweating and cursing untill I realize that AC dial is at 1/2 point to the vertical position...

Sorry... that was funny... it happened to me once too but I didn't even get close to thinking about bringing it back to the dealership. I was just wondering why in the world the car was so hot ... lol.

Ok... for all of you... my dial has been all the way to the blue side for a while now... no one touches my car except for me... i only have the blowing to the head setting on... the vents are directed to me... no one else rides in my car... blah blah blah... just in case ppl are wondering. Oh and yes... the A/C button is pressed and the recirculate is also pressed... and it was on full blast... all bars... (at least that one day)...
