I am in Madera and I run mine sitting still with no heating up. This is in 112 degree heat, ice cold in the car with no hint of temperature fluctuations. If anything shouldn't the car run cooler or normal at the least with the air on?

You would think, the weird thing is this just started happening yesterday. Before this in the same conditions the car was fine whether the ac was on or not. Im leaning toward it either being something with the ac system or the thermostat, but wanted to see if anyone has run into this issue before

Could be a possible intermittent fan issue. The fan should be on when you turn the AC on to help the engine stay cool due to the extra load of the AC compressor being engaged. The fans also come on at lower speeds and at a stop to help keep the engine cool since not as much air is going through the engine bay. The fans also come on when temps get to high even though you are driving and the air going through the engine bay. I

You could take it to the dealer and they should be able to monitor desired fan speed and actual fan speed to see if there is any variance. You could also see if there are any stored codes or any for overheating.

Is your check engine light on?

No check engine light, fans are both on while the ac is going but not sure if they are at full blast. They sound like they are going full blast though when the ac is going
