AC only working on one side

I'm guessing it's not that bad off if the passenger side still blows cold air. Could it be a faulty hose or something?

I just had this fixed under CPO warranty. It was the evaporator. Passenger side would blow cold air but driver's side would stay lukewarm. Dealer said out of warranty it would cost $7000 but I don't believe that. I looked up the part number and it was around $500 for genuine OEM part plus some o-rings. I watched a youtube video of a guy who replaced it in 3 hours. The entire dash has to come off.

Dunno if it was just a temporary fix but I just got my freon topped off and it's cold on both sides again.

Can you give us an update; was it only freon or something else?

Would love an update mine went completely ambient today. It's been getting slightly less colder with each trip up until today....

Had the same issue. Got the system recharged about a year ago and it's been fine since.
