If you find your car AC not working one hot summer’s day, you may be in for an uncomfortable ride. As the heat builds up inside your cabin, it can even become dangerous on particularly sweltering days. Let’s take a look at a few different ways in which a car’s air conditioning system might malfunction. If your AC is misbehaving, visit your local Subaru dealer without delay to have it repaired. 

Car AC Not Working? Visit Your Subaru Dealer Today

Broken Cooling Fans

If no air is blowing out of the AC vents, there may be a mechanical problem with the cooling fans. As the AC generates cool, refrigerated air, the fans should blow this cooled air into the car’s cabin. 

AC fans can sometimes become damaged or clogged from debris flying in from outside the car. A technician should be able to repair a broken or stuck AC fan without too much trouble. 

Electrical Problems

As your AC requires electricity, an AC fault might be due to an electrical issue. An electrical short or blown fuse may be to blame. Alternatively, the wiring might have come loose for the fans, the AC pressure switch, or something else in the system.

Your Guide to the 2023 Subaru Forester

Power and Transmission

Under the hood of any new Forester, you’ll find a robust 2.5L flat-four engine that provides plenty of grunt with its 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. Sending that power to all four wheels is the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission, unique for its lighter, more efficient construction. For added driver engagement, this transmission is available with 7- or 8-speed manual modes. Fuel economy is impressive at an EPA-rated 33 highway MPG.

Standard Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) lets you change the engine’s level of power delivery with two modes: Intelligent for a boost in efficiency and Sport, which provides greater acceleration and responsiveness.
