Q: My prius 2015 AC blows not-cold-enough air and also it takes 10-15 minutes to start cooling?
I bought this car and found out that the condenser had already been damaged, probably hit a rock or something. I had the condenser been changed and filled with freon .after that the ac started to take 15 minutes to start blowing 75% cold (I mean cold but not as I wish). sometimes the AC blows cool but not cold when it is hot outside. you see: the whole AC is not not blowing solidly cold air. it is cool but not cold
