My Magnum R/T is an '06 with only 2500 miles on it. My A/C belches about 4-5 seconds of very hoy air before the cold air comes through. This is after running the system for a while, nice cold air, shut the car off, go in a store, come out 20min later, and get blasted with HOT air for what seem much longer than any other car I ever owned. Does anyone else experance this problem? I s it normal or and aberation?

 

Same here, I dont know if it is the "new" freon from the old banned type or the A/C ducting is easier heated up from the sun.

 

If more people have the same experiance I wont feel to bad. A friend of mine just picked up a new Cadillac STS which we took out for a cruise, I porposly set up the same senerio and his car just shot coooold air imediatly. Must be a Dodge design flaw.

 

Wow,
I have been having this same problem. If I drive the car to somewhere and have not used the A/C, and then come out and start it up, HOT air comes through for about one minute.. Everytime I turn the A/C off and then turn it back on…HOT air. Never had this happen with any car I have had previously. I think the “Greenies� have caused this by banning the use of freon.

I have a ’92 Toyota 4-runner that still has freon. Works great.

Could be the heater core is filling up with hot coolant. Mercedes uses a thing called a monovalve on its cars to help reduce this.

 

Forgot to mention that my RT is a ’06 that I picked up on April 21, 2005.
I really love this car, but there are things that I think are not quite right.
I find the transmission is changing shifts from sluggish to what I think it should be. Acceleration changes from astounding to hesitation and slow pick up. Why does this happen? If this is caused by the computer, is there a way to make this car respond like a car in the past without the computer trying to second guess the driver?
