evident

I noticed that if i'm turning my car on for the first time in a day (12-24 hours) on a hot day (80F + ) , the compressor on the AC doesn't kick on for about 3-4 minutes. It just blows out hot air for those first few minutes. Once it kicks on and i turn the car off and then on again some time during the day the compressor kicks on right away and cold air starts to blow normally.

Anyone else notice this? Is this something I should have my dealer check out?

My RX350 pumps out cold air almost asap, and so did my accord.


Second issue, my AC seems to have a musty or urine like smell if it hasn't been turned on in a few days either. it goes away as soon as air starts moving. How do I get rid of this permanently?

I would have the dealer check it out. Mine kicks in within the first 20 seconds or so.

I have the same issue with A/C kicking in after about 2 minutes on a 80F + day here in SoCal. It only take this long when the car has been sitting for a couple of hours. Taking my car in for service next week so hopefully the dealer looks into it.
