did ur air just stop blowing cold as asoon as u turn it on or is it after u car sits for like ten minutes and then u try to turn it on and its only hot... if its the second one it happened to my 05 box too and i took it to the dealer and they had no f-in clue what was wrong with it... first time they said it just over heated and it should be fine.. three times later with the same problem they finally swapped out my blower and its been fine since for the most part... i noticed that it happens when the car is idle for about 2o mins with the air off and then when u turn it on ur f-ed becasue then ut doesnt work.. just thought id throw my 2 cents in

i would take it in and see if it needs to be recharged. mine throws out moderately cold air on moderately warm days. it is a small system so you can ask for too much, most likely it just needs the freon changed out.

Hey EZ, if it just started, it's possible that while you were driving, some vehicle in front of you, kicked a rock thru your AC condensor, since it's so exposed to the elements.
As far as people saying you need to just recharge it, NOPE! If it needs a recharge, it's cause there is some sort of leak in the AC system.
Let us know what the dealership finds...

Just hope it's not the compressor. Remember my box was only three weeks old and the compressor internally came apart and there was definetly no cold air coming from the vents.

glad to hear you got it figured out, nothing worse than a/c that doesn't work when it's hot...
