My 2012 camaro stopped blowing cold air . Added freon and nothing.. I can hear the compressor engaging. Anyone remedy this ? Oh and even with the AC turned off , both knobs off, warm air still blows out.

Sounds like the blend door issue. Do a search.

^^^^^^^^^^what they said....i just fixed mine, the multi-max tool/cut on driver side method....NOT fun at all but it is fixed and I am happy I don't have to sit in 100+ degree weather sweating anymore

just completed my blend door replacement 2 days ago , probably took about 3 hrs...after removing the cut out (that i had just made) i just couldnt get it to reseat . The inner pinch rail (the name im giving it) kept getting hungup and would not seat correctly. had to run a razer thru it to clear and obstructions and right after...everything fit perfect. Im very happy and not afraid if i ever have to repeat the process again. I can say that i plan on having this car atleast 5-10 more years
