Problem overview

Some INFINITI QX80 owners report experiencing issues with their AC blowing hot air when stopped in traffic, even after recent service. These problems may stem from low or overcharged refrigerant levels, which can disrupt the cooling process. Additionally, a malfunctioning compressor could prevent the AC from cooling effectively. Owners have also noted that dirty condenser or evaporator coils can hinder the system's efficiency. Furthermore, a faulty blend door actuator might affect temperature control, while issues with the evaporator temperature sensor or AC pressure sensor could contribute to the problem. Lastly, some owners find that a bad fuse or relay may disrupt the AC system's functioning. It is recommended that a professional inspect these components to identify and resolve the underlying issues.
