To be honest, I'm with the OP. My A/C is not ICE COLD as others have mentioned and is simply cool air blowing. I guess I have to take it to the dealer after what people are saying about the A/C

maybe you forgot to turn on the "A/C" button. if it's off, then only fan is blowing. if it's on then the air conditioner is working.

i have no complaints too just like the majority here..my a/c has been blowing freaking cold air..even in hot weather

I live in Phoenix, AZ. Yes it gets 110-120 here on a regular basis, yea its a dry heat, but in August it gets pretty freaking humid here too. Nothing like it being 115 out with 70%+ humidity.

My IS250 is black, has factory tint, and sits in the sun all day long from 8:30 am(its common for it to be well over 100 at 8am here) till i go to lunch at 1pm, it bakes in the sun. I couldnt imagine a worse situation, other than the guy in saudi arabia maybe. The AC in the car works wonders, almost something magical about it. I have lived in Phoenix my entire life, and never has a car had such an amazing AC system in it. It doesnt take more than 10mins or so and I am more than comftorable in the car, after 20 mins if i am driving that long it gets uncomftorable cold and time to turn it down to something in the 70s. For it to perform this well in this climate espicailly in a black car is quite a treat.

I'm in AZ and my girlfriend will regularly ask me to allow her to have her window cracked so that she can have some warm air to counter the cold air from the A/C. I also have friends that are impressed with how when i turn on the A/C, the air is cool/cold almost instantly. As mentioned earlier, AZ gets 100+ degree temps a lot and it is a dry heat but my is250 has never failed me during monsoon season when the humidity is ridiculous. Just my 2 cents.
