2000 Maxima
I'm new to this forum, so i'm not sure exactly how to go about this, so thank you for your patience. I have a 2000 Maxima GLE, great car with 232,000 when I purchased it(1 owner). I have had the air conditioner checked 2 different times and have been told nothing is wrong with it. At low speeds it works great, but as you increase the speed of the car the air gets warmer. Any ideas as to what may be wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Good question. I took it in to my mechanic and he ran it on and off for a day and couldn't find anything wrong it. I'm not much of a mechanic, just trying to get some ideas. It just blows hot air the faster the car goes. Thanks for your help.

That's not the question. Does your HVAC control have a DIGITAL screen or does it have a **** for fan control and slider for temperature?

T_Behr may be on to something. Run the self diagnostic on the control panel and see if that runs successfully, especially part 5 which checks the temperature sensors.
The self diagnosis starts on page HA 37 in the FSM.

Condenser (radiator in front of the car) is also most likely fine as it is having harder time to cool down when car is moving slowly than when it's moving fast. The same goes for evaporator/compressor for the same reason.
I'd say something is wrong with control system. It's interesting to see how it behaves if you'd press internal circulation button- do you hear air doors moving and how air temp. depends on car speed in this case?

Had this same problem with my 2002 Chrysler Town and Country van that had the dual zone auto climate control. It would blow warm on one side but cold on the other. New internal temperature sensor fixed the problem and it never came back. Hope that can point you in a good direction.

It is an interesting problem, I would like to hear what fixes the op's problem.

Have to admit that it sounds logical. But I don't have that problem. I drive 80 mph here in 105 plus degrees and the car is nice and cold inside. And that's without using the recirculate mode.
