Hi,

My car blows cold air normally, but if i turn off my car then turn it back on the air blows warm. Same things happens if i am driving and i turn the air off then back on it will also blow warm. I have to rev to about 5k rpm to get the A/C to blow cold for both instances. Its very annoying...

Any suggestions? Took the car to Honda dealership twice and they couldn't replicate.

Probably low refrigerant.
I was thinking the same, but that also means something is leaking. Its been doing this for a year since i got it. I was thinking it was more of a faulty a/c compressor or electrical issue causing the compressor not to turn on when it should. If it was a leak i would assume it would be blowing hot air by now.

I would ask the dealer if I were you to ask if your VIN is included in the condenser recall. Don’t wait till it’s all crappy in the end.

If that’s the case, I would go to another dealership.
