    The AC switches off while driving. Push the button for it to stay on for 3 seconds. Anyone experienced this?

    Do you need to know, or care?
    Welcome to TW.

    Not sure what the problem is, do you mean it shuts off by itself after 3 seconds of driving? What temp do you have it set at? Is defrost on?

    The a/c will be blowing cold air. Then the AC switch light goes off and the cold air becomes warm. I push the switch and ac stays on for 3 seconds. Goes off and repeat.

    Have you tried turning the set temp down?

    Edit: Another question, do you have the manual or automatic system?

    Sounds like a dealer visit. Good luck and let us know the outcome. Sharing around here helps us all. Sorry couldn't help further, but there seems to be no reason for your problem.

    I have a different issue.

    When I turn everything off, it continues to blow air. Room temp, but continues to blow. I just close the vents but then it makes the noise of air blowing through closed vents. It’s annoying, but I have been living with it for a year +.

    Anyone else?

    Turn it on recirculation to stop the air through the vents.

    Also check to see if you turned the dial all the way to the left for " max air" that will keep it going as well.
