#3 of 46 2007 Outlander Heat Problem by blackb13 Feb 05, 2007 (7:44 pm)
Since it's been subzero here in Chicago lately, I've had a great opportunity to use the heater in the Outlander. There is a major problem.   When idling, the temp coming from the vents drops DRAMATICALLY (luke warm at best). When moving again, the heat comes up to full temp.   I've tried the "auto" setting, full heat setting, different heat locations (floor, defrost,etc...) with no difference.   This is especially annoying since I drive in mostly "stop and go" rush hour traffic. The truck blows hot air, then luke warm air, then hot air, etc... It's very annoying.   Can anyone else please confirm this? I'm going to write an extremely long winded letter to MMNA describing the now 4th major problem in this vehicle.

Replying to: blackb13 (Feb 05, 2007 7:44 pm) Yup, I have the same issue. Pretty noticeable when the temps are in single digits the last few days. Not sure if it's by design or not. The user manual is kind of confusing regarding how the heater works. It's really annoying since I have a remote starter and it blows luke warm air while warming up. So much for defrosting the windows with the remote starter. I guess I can add that issue to the the phone call I'll be making tomorrow regarding the radio issue I have.

Replying to: marrigo13 (Feb 06, 2007 5:01 am) Yeah my new Outlander does the exact same thing. I had the same problem with my 2002 Galant that I had before this car also. It is very annoying, especially when I live in the mid-West and depend on that bad boy for some heat! If I didn't have the seat warmers it would really be a problem.

Replying to: ginobili_fan (Feb 06, 2007 7:21 am) I've made an appointment for the truck to get looked at. In addition, I've made a call to the MMNA's customer service department to inform them about the issue (in addition to the other ones). He said he'll log the problem(s) into his computer for future reference.   I'd encourage everyone else to at least call MMNA to ensure that our problems are being resolved in a quick and orderly fashion.

Replying to: blackb13 (Feb 05, 2007 7:44 pm) Yep, same problem here. Funny thing is, if you shift into park then the heat comes back on. Back to drive it goes away.

Here's my experience with my Outlander heating system. I live in NW IN so we pretty much get negative temps here too. In my Outlander, the fan (on auto) doesn't blow hot air UNTIL there is a reading in the water temp gauge. I have an XLS with auto climate control, so I just set my temp to 75-80F, set fan to auto, blower config to auto. So far I've been getting constant temps on this setup, in idle or running.   From what I understand, the hot air actually comes from the heated air in the radiator. So inorder for the air blown to be hot, the engine needed to be sufficiently warmed up.   And in this wintery conditions, the heated seats are a lifesaver. Definitely worth it.

Replying to: rcpax (Feb 06, 2007 5:04 pm) Probably should have specified that I have the LS, so no climate control. Even after the vehicle is heated up fully, cool air is blown out when idled. Doesn't seem to matter if it's in park or drive, but I'll try and remember to check later today.

Replying to: rcpax (Feb 06, 2007 5:04 pm) It doesn't matter if it's set to "auto" or manual. It still blows luke warm/cold air when coming to a stop or while parked. In addition, this is when the truck is up to normal operating temp.
