| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota sienna le -- the air generated by the a/c cycles from cool/cold to warm when the compressor stops; the air returns to cool/cold when the compressor re-engages. Dealer says this is normal; it may in fact be normal for this make and model but it is very different from any other air-conditioned vehicle i have ever owned. I have never had the air temperature vary as much during normal operation. The dealer suggested leaving the a/c set on "recirculated air", but this contradicts the instructions found in the owner's manual.*ak |
