2020 Gladiator AC Problem

[Triumph]

Before I pull my gladiator in for service I thought maybe someone is familiar with this.
My ac is blowing in some warm air when being used. Took 2 long trips and noticed this. Lower numbers 1 & 2 on the dial I notice it more
Thanks for your time

I've seen the same thing, but the AC does continue to blow cold but it allows warm air for about 1min ... Ive assumed this is wiping the condensor somehow with air to keep if functional? I look forward to hearing more on the thread?

I've read a thread about this before; you may be able to find it by searching. I believe this was intentionally designed to prevent the condenser from freezing.

Does it occur intermittently (warm air for ~30 seconds every 45 minutes or so)? If so, check this:

Correct same thing as mine. Spoke at dealer he said that was to keep it from freezing. But it’s not normal for me. Will know more later today when picked up

I run mine on auto and haven't noticed this.

Although it may not be related and you most likely have, remember to replace the cabin air filter periodically.

Yes something the dealer is doing. They are thorough but expensive
Thanks for your comment

That is easy to do, don't pay them.

Well had the ac looked at regarding warm air coming in. They did a factory update on the ac and said it was corrected. Luckily no charge on that. Also Flushed out the ac and changed the cabin filters. Of course I won’t know till my next road trip.
Rotated the wheels along with an alignment.
I had some play in the steering, surprised to see that was corrected.
Never had faith in this dealership,
out the door for 3k, and change.
What ever!!
