so after a couple posts about how my passenger side vents and center console rear vents are blowing hot, but the driver side vents are blow medium cold... i called lexus and they said it could be the servo or low on freon. i went the cheaper route(freon) and that was the problem!!! low on freon. $23 and 2 cans later, all vents are blowing ICE COLD!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldnt celebrate just yet. Freon does not get used up like gasoline in your car so that means it must have leaked out. You will have to continually refill it until you find the leak and fix it. If you're lucky the leak is slow then it will be a while before you have to refill. I am going through the exact same thing with my air conditioners at home.

good point, I'd check for leaks asap. shytown350 - What year and miles on your car?

True. Just excited I didn't have to fork out money for the Servo, heard that was expensive. I'm sure there is a leak, I bought the car in December with ac blowing hot, charged it, and now again.
