2013 A/C cuts out at 1st stop light
So after I start the Jeep with the A/C on, and drive to the first stop light, it cuts out. Not completely, but the fans go very low. Then I step on the gas again, and it comes back to the correct setting. Only seems to do this at the first stop sign after which its fine.
Nothing major, but, annoying on a warm day. Seems to happen both in regular or auto mode (have the auto temp control).
Anyone else experience this?

I will have to jump on this bandwagon also. My 2013 Rubi unlimited does the same thing, only does it once, and only when you first start. Extremely weird!

My 2013 JKUR has done this about 4-5 times so far. It only happens once and last for about 3-4 seconds. Just long enough for me to say WTF? And then the fans return to normal for the rest of the trip.

My 2012 JKU has done it since day one, over a year now and all Jeep ever does is reflag the BCM and says let's see if this helps. I don't understand how many different programs you can flash into a BCM. I'm in the AG industry and we don't write new programs for BCM's every drop of a hat and I know Jeep doesn't either. I believe they are all full of crap and have NO Clue!!

The jeep ac purposely does blow for the first 10 seconds - it is precautionary as mentioned the the manual.
If it is cutting out, that is a different issue. Could be wrong, but it sound like there is air in the coolant system. Have you ever hear the sound of water rushing under the dash?
