I've seen other posts complaining about it, but it seems to me that at least on my car it's not just "poor", it's actually broken. The A/C is always on. Hitting the button for A/C doesn't turn it off. Moving the dial to "off" doesn't turn it off. Moving the fan down to minimum doesn't slow down the fan. Changing the temperature to 90 and the A/C continues on at full blast. Push any of the buttons and none of the lights change.

It seems like it's completely defective, just curious if I am missing something before I take it in for service. It feels like there is some lock active preventing me from changing any of the climate settings, but as far as I can tell there is no lock of that sort.

I just got this car yesterday. What sucks is I test drove a similar car but decided to switch because of color, so I didn't get a chance to test drive this car. Otherwise, I have been very happy with the car- but since I don't normally use A/C it really bothers me having it run non-stop the entire time I am driving the car. It's a big distraction and very annoying.
