What cracks? I recall the same thing happening in my dad's car. There was
nothing wrong with the AC but we weren't moving. He said it would take a
while to get the air in from the outside. And he was right. Once we got
moving, it cooled off. I didn't drive very far but most of the time I was
stuck, stopped.
I don't think it was a coolant leak. I had that once in one of my old vans.
I kept telling my husband that something was wrong with the AC but he
wouldn't believe me until we got stuck in traffic near Travis AFB which is
in the CA desert. Then he believed me! It was blowing air and the air was
slightly cool but there was a leak in the line so most of the coolant wasn't
getting through.
This wasn't like that. Just took longer than normal to get really cold.
