Hello all, after driving older cars for a while I finally got a 2012 Maserati Gran Turismo MC, the car only has 11k miles on it and seem to be in great shape except for one thing I can't figure out.
I live in dallas Texas were it's still over 90 degrees out at all times. Usually when I start my car the ac runs just fine and the outside temp starts at a at a close temp to what it is outside. Usually within 20 or 30 minutes or even faster the temp drops to 50 or even straight down to single digits. Normally I wouldn't care but this temp seems to also work in conjunction with the HVAC so that means the compressor kicks off and hot air starts to blow out. Even if I manually drop the hvac temp to low and full fan it's not that cold. This makes my car almost undrivable in the this Texas heat. I tried to look through fourms for similar situations and only see a hand full of similar situations but nothing that shows what actually fixed it. I see the mirror door sensor is fairly easy to replace but requires me opening the door which I don't really want to do if that's not the issue.
Figured I would try here since there are so many pros on these cars. I hate to take it to the dealer as I'm sure it will cost me a pretty penny just for the to look at it. I doubt my local mechanic would be able to figure this out easily as it seems to be an electric issue.
