Air conditioning temperature control has to be set at 25deg to maintain comfortable i.e. 23/24deg level on 35deg plus outside ambient air. After some time (no set time varies) the temp control needs to be reduced because cab air is too warm, ten it has to be increased because too cold. This is annoying while driving long distance adjusting the temp control up / down Has anyone had this problem and found a fix ---

One fix: Take it to an independent AC shop. Alternate fix: Toyota dealership. **If** your vehicles has automatic HVAC setting, this **might** require a Toyota dealership to diagnose and repair. If a manually controlled system, your AC **might** be working correctly. Try this, set AC to max, when the car interior is cold cold enough leave AC on max (or recirculate) then increase temperature **gradually, one click at a time**. This will continue to dehumidify the car and you can fine a comfortable setting. As usually, you will get more and quicker advice if posting under maintenance/repair rather than ask some category. ---

That was interesting, I did not know there was an ambient temperature sensor. I have always had manual HVAC-systems. ---

I have logged onto carcomplaints multiple times, have yet to find that link. Even the search box on car complaints will not take you there. Please provide the url, I would like to see the site. ---
