The HVAC temperature control on my MO does not appear to be accurate nor precise. I find that I am frequently adjusting the temperature in order to maintain a comfortable environment. Does anyone else experience this?
On my Jeep GC I could set the temp control to 70 in the winter or 69 in the summer and never have to change the setting. It always managed to maintain the proper temp regardless of vehicle speed, sunlight, or passenger load. However, on the MO I find that I need to lower the setting to 66 on sunny days to keep the cabin at 70 . (I used a FLUKE digital thermometer to confirm temps.) On cooler days a setting closer to 70 will maintain the correct temp.
I also experienced a similar problem in the winter, sometimes having to increase the temp setting to 74 to maintain a 70 degree cabin temp.
It is not a problem with the heating/cooling capacity because the fan speed is usually in the lower range (on the AUTO setting).
Is this problem unique to my MO or do others also experience this? Maybe I was just spoiled by the Jeep's excellent temperature control.
Thanx in advance for you assistance.
