I assume they’ve verified that the refrigerant level is fine, or even recharged it for you.
But there’s a small chance you just need something called a high-pressure switch. If the pressure of the refrigerant inside the compressor is too high, the high-pressure switch will cut power to the compressor clutch, so the compressor doesn’t blow itself up. And while the compressor clutch is deactivated, you’ll get hot air. So maybe that switch has gone haywire?
Normally, a scan will pick that up. But if the switch wasn’t misbehaving when your dealer had the car, he could have missed it. And the dealer may not have wanted to put in the time to investigate further.
So I suggest you take the car to an air conditioning specialty shop. Let them diagnose it, and ask them to check the high-pressure switch, too. The switch is cheap. Good luck.
