When car is idle, AC blows cold (32F) air out of vent. when you start driving temp goes up to the point when it's 80+ outside, the cab is no longer cooled. I think it is electronics that is malfunctioning Dealer doesn't find anything wrong with the AC. On a hot day 90F+ it blows cool but not ice cold air. Unfortunately summer is over so not easy to recreate.
