    A/C erratic

    I bought my CX-9 back in April of this year. Had to start using the A/C in June. When the CX-9 is sitting in the sun for a few hours getting it cooled down takes a while. I was out of town and went to Autozone and bought a freon bottle with gauge. The low pressure indicated it could use some...
