[QUOTE="islandreamer, post: 11799, member: 522"] That's right. I want to see the temp dip back to freezing again and try to re-create this drama. I believe my ac light stayed lit all the time during those below 37 temps and I don't have auto climate controls. I was this close in selling this to CarMax yesterday after I test drove a 2014 Subaru Impreza wagon hoping that the ac control does not have the same setup as the Nox but when I asked the salesman to pop open the owner's manual to check if it had a note about the ac terminating below freezing, lo and behold, it does says the same. So much for the test drive and CarMax. I also read it on an online car tip is that is why the ac on newer vehicles won't run below 32 is to prevent the evaporator from freezing. I'll see if I can confirm this from an a/c auto technician. Did some .pdf downloads on newer Toyota, Mazda, Honda owner's manuals and just about everyone of them says the same. Well for now, I'm keeping my Nox (I hate to give up this quiet and solid ride) and maybe I just have to stay on the warmer zone on the thermo next time it fogs up. [/QUOTE]
