We have a 2008 Mazda CX7 bought new in 2008 at about 35,677 mile mark our A/C started going in and out not blowing cold air. Took it and the tech air blowing at 46 degrees and pressure good. No major problems after. Just this past weekend my wife is driving the car with my eight tear old on the interstate when the car started smoking severely. She pulls over call me, a brief look over I saw that something was wrong with the A/C clutch area. Now the A/C is out. I'm on my way to Mazda right now and will update status later. Vehicle is out of warranty wouldn't you know. Apparently from research via the internet this is and has been a very common problem. Help! please.....

Air conditioning blows hot air a few times a day. It never fully cools car. At some times it starts blowing so hot that it is more comfortable to turn the A/C off even when it is 105 degrees outside! I have taken the car into Mazda of St. George, Utah twice and they put a thermometer in the vent, tell me it's cold enough and send me on my way. They say they don't know why it blows hot air but that the A/C system is working normally. I have lived in this very hot climate for a very long time and have owned many different cars. All of them were able to cool down the car to a comfortable temperature even in our hot area. When the temperature gets above 100 to 105 degrees the car is too uncomfortable to drive. In fact, my wife will choose to drive my truck (as opposed to her '08 Mazda) as the air conditioner in the truck actually blows cold air.
