Default 2014 AC Issues 160k

What’s goood! Been a minute...anybody else having issues with AC on their is? I took it to the dealer and had the servo motors/fans replaced last year and then took it in a few months ago to have it checked out again. But all my vents are blowing really warm air. Sometimes it’s cooler depending on the day. But the vents in the back are working just fine and up to temp. My car has 164,000 miles. Had it since sept 2013. I don’t want to drop another $1k 😫

This is what they did last time last year. They said it’s not covered under warranty anymore either.

I've had issues with my front passenger vents blowing warm/hot air while the rest of the vents were cold. They "reset the system" and it fixed it. That was at 15k miles when I first bought the car as a CPO.

The invoice shown is for a radiator fan motor, located under the hood just behind the radiator, which won't have any effect on the fact the front of the cabin isn't getting cool, and the rear is.
It sounds like you are having a blend door issue where you're requesting cool air, but getting warm air.
As pngo mentioned, a servo motor initialization using the Techstream tool at the dealer will likely resolve the issue.

And holy **** they raped you on labor. I haven't replaced a fan motor myself, but it looks like they charged about 4 hours labor (give or take). I'm struggling to think it took that long...but I could be wrong.
