Not always will your fan be running when you first crank up also so still no air flow, that's why it starts cooling once the car is moving. It gets air flow, hope this info helps you understand a little bit about how the AC works.
I don't want to sound like a butt here but I have lived in AZ all my life and have owned dozens of cars and trucks over the last 40 years.I "understand" how A/C works and I also "understand" when there is a problem, and there is definately a problem here. I am going to speak to my dealer today to begin the frustration process!
I will post up results.
