frosty

this happen twice within the last month. i was driving and the weather was hot. so i switched from the fan to a/c and frost starts shooting out of my vents for 10-15 seconds. both times i was driving with a friend and they just point, then then laugh. so im wondering is there something wrong with my ac system, or is it suppose to do that in rare occassions?

THANK YOU for having this problem!

Same thing happened in my car a few times and it freaked me out becuase I originally thought it was smoke

It should be all good, probably just some condensation blowing into your car from the a/c system, I wouldn't worry about it.

Each time I had this happen, I shut the a/c off and turned it back on and it didn't happen again so I wouldn't worry too much about it mang

every car does that. It is same thing as if you opened your freezer and the air from the freezer is colder than the air outside of it so it looks like it is smoking. Thats also the reason fog happens. OOOOOOOOOOOOOh!
