A/C noise in cabin - insufficent cooling

gabagool_nj · Sep 25, 2025

So I have 16k miles on my 2022 and a few weeks ago I hear a pressurizing type noise in the cabin when i turn the ac on. Sometimes it's loud and sometimes not. It is not blowing air as cold as it used to and takes 10-15 of driving before it gets comfortable whereas it would get cold within a few min. Obviously the AC has an issue and should be under warranty but anyone ever have a similar issue and what was the fix you had done? thanks!

Did you place the recirculate ON?

Is it a hissing type sound? Probably low refrigerant. My friend had that noise for years. She took her car to the shop and thats what it was

edit her car wasnt a kona fyi

yes it is like a hissing sound. But for it to be low with only 16k miles there has to be a deeper reason for it being low. A leak somewhere I’d think.

I am sure you know this. You probably have a leak, possibly in the evaporator. You have to take it to the dealer

yeh I have an appointment I was just wondering if anyone else had this ac issue and what it ended up being.

Do you park outside or under any trees?

Could be that the cabin filter has stuff like leaves and large debris stuck in it.

filter is new a month ago. Again I know the ac is bad. It’s nothing filter or anything. There’s a loud pressurizing sound in the cabin after I turn it on.
