I would rather like to understand if there is a design issue or a PHEV specific usage pattern that increases AC issue probability. Of course a bad batch of compressors is always an option as well.
How do you turn off the AC in the LCI? Only way I've found out is eco pro (therefore sluggish acceleration etc). I can't find a way to manually turn it off. I wonder if that was part of the problem of the pre-LCI? Although if it was, it wouldn't be deactivated in eco-pro then either...so not really sure.

And I have no idea to turn it on in eco pro mode!
