Climate control problems

EspoMan · December 26, 2016

So as if my truck didn't already have a lot of problems, it just starting developing a problem with my climate control.

So here's my problem. I do a lot of traveling on the highway, most of the time 3 hour trips and it's been pretty cold during my trips, around 30°.

On trips like this I leave both guages at 65. Well for a while the temperature is perfect, not too hot not too cold. All of a sudden it gets really cold, or gets really hot out of nowhere. I can have it at 65 and it feels like it's at 80.

This is with the A/C OFF and it does it with with the fan off with the air recycle switch off and just getting air coming in from outside.

Anyone else have this problem?

P.S. I hate this truck.

Thanks for any feedback

Just did a test. Turned AC on, set temp to 63 and hot air was coming out. Lowered it to LO and cold air came out. Up again to 63 and hot as hell. It's not there's no in-between.

Your truck is designed to be problem-free. You say that you have a lot of problems including your heater. My suggestion is that you make a list of concerns and discuss them with the dealership where your truck was purchased. Your truck has a bumper to bumper warranty and there is no need for you to be driving a truck with "a lot of problems". If your relationship with them is poor then get a rep from GM customer service to speak to your dealership on your behalf.

Take it back to the dealer...might be worth asking GM customer service if you can do a buyback with all the issues you claim.

I may try that. I've been super busy lately and haven't had time to go. Just made a move to another state, new job, holidays, etc. Today I will be making a list of all the problems and will take it to a dealership next week. Not very hopeful they'll do anything as it's been in the shop for vibration issues and all they did was do a road force balance on two tires and gave it back to me. That was after 4 trips to 3 different dealerships.
