Default -22 macan gts ac/fan problems..

Well, just randomly works for a a little bit then absolutely no fan inside car. Its now standing at the dealer and as of my understanding alot more cars will have this problem.. porsche germany are working day n night to fix it but nothing yet. So now without my car for 1.5 week and no info when it can be fixed.
Anyone else with the same problem here yet?
What would you do?

22 Macan S and AC/Fan works beautifully...Not nice problem to have, especially in this heat... Hopefully is just isolated case... Good luck with fix... Let us know...

There is a baseline fan setting in the settings menu. Maybe that got switched. Otherwise sounds like an electrical issue.

By the sounds of it, this seems to be a genuine issue. However, I had all sorts of problems with my old 958 Cayenne. On really hot 100 degree days, I just couldnt get the cabin cool. I tried pretty much everything, but replaced the blower motor as this is a known weak point - which helped a little. But what was the thing that did it for me - that little interior temp sensor. On the 958 its down on the right side of the steering column and not in a great position. A combination of the vent, my knee (I am tall) and the temp caused it to freak out. It was doing what it was told to do, just was getting weird data.

Changed the vent position, made sure I cleaned the sensor and didnt block it and suddenly it was cooling correctly. Not suggesting that this is the case here - and I really dont know where the temp sensor is (Wife took the car this morning, cant look!), but it might be worth looking at this? No idea - its free at least!

Thanks for the suggestions guys, tried this before leaving it at the dealer. They mentioned three othee macans already w the same issue, but when they contacted porcsche germany i understood this would be major. P germany still dont know what to do.
my rental a3 that someone previuosly smoked in is not great, especially when tye -22 gts is awesome besides no ac/fan..

My dealer updated me. Its a software problem. New parts will not solve the issue. Porsche germany still dont have a solution, Alot of cars will have this problem. Porsche germany are working day n night to sort it out but sounds like ut wont be a quick fix..
my a3 rental thats been smoken inside isnt quite the same premiumfeeling but hopefully getting a porsche loaner.. summer n all.

Has your AC problem been resolved ?

I also got an AC problem on a 2022 Macan GTS. Fan and AC not working. Just got the car 2 weeks ago. Northern California USA.

sorry to hear this.
No, it has not been resolved, as of my understanding ALOT of cars will have this issue. Does anyone know how long they can keep the car (issue unsolved) before you can get a new one?
my guess is all -22 macan gts will get this sooner or later.

Porsche should put a STOP SALE mandate, until they find a solution. My Macan should be coming in September
and if they don't find a fix, I might not even want it.

I just took delivery of a 22 GTS and have had no issues even in the hot muggy summer here in the mid Atlantic. I wonder how many cars are effected and why some and not others.

my fan works but my ac is not very cold on the drivers side vents, and not cold at all on the passenger side vents. when i first got the car the fan was kind of noisy but that has stopped. i don't have a lot of faith in the long term reliability of this car (22 GTS)

Here we go again, another AC problem. There might be many, many more than we don't know since the forum has only a fraction of '22 Macan owners.
Controlling for product quality has nothing to do with supply chain or war problems, it is up to Porsche Management to see that this doesn't continue.

My AC problem subsequently fixed itself by a "restart". Parked the car for a couple of hour at home, restarted it again, and worked. No AC problem thereafter, fingers crossed.

I believe it is a software issue.
