its the car, black is the problem.... absorbs the heat..
that is why in the south the black an white police cars had a white top years ago to control some of the heat..... try parking under a tree.. when i have my contour in the garage
and use it there is no problem.. it just take some time to cool the car down when parked in the sun... where i live the temp. was like 82 degrees, but the heat index was over
100 degrees....very high humidity.........




After the car is sitting in my garage overnight, (cooled down) it still doesn't blow cold a/c. While the black color isn't helping any, I still think that it is an A/C issue, but thank you for stating the obvious. (seriously) Many times people look for the hard answer and miss the easy ones....
