2015 ftype coupe climate nonsense.
Loving my ftype base v6. However, the climate control is a total disaster. I don't know if i am doing something wrong, but i cannot get the car to keep a stable temperature. I have tried virtually every setting....upper vents on, lower vents on, ac on...ac off. Recirculation on/off...... I cannot get a nice solid temperature to blow out of the car while driving. (am doing best with automatic on..and just the foot vents.). this is such a step down from my XKR where the climate control was impeccable. Has anyone else had this issue?
And....one more issue...my girlfriend weighs exactly 100 lbs...and the passanger airbag keeps going out....(according to the manual this is normal.) the Jag dealer suggested she was too skinny. Is it possible that you can make a car that's airbag won't function for someone that's 99 lbs? what if i had a teenage child?
And....one more issue...my girlfriend weighs exactly 100 lbs...and the passanger airbag keeps going out....(according to the manual this is normal.) the Jag dealer suggested she was too skinny.

As for climate control, mine seems very comfortable and maintains a stable temp. I just leave it on the auto setting all the time. However, I do recall someone else complaining about the same thing here not too long ago.

I've had my Jag in twice for the airbag issue. My girlfriend is around 110lbs. Same issue, airbag disables half the time she is in the car. They first did the recall fix, which didn't fix it. Then they went through and said they hardwired the sensor changing the resistance or something. Well it still didn't fix it. The airbag gets disabled. Dealer said that the seat sensor requires 120lbs. I find that BS personally. Someone 5'5" should have an airbag.

I've found the climate control to be excellent. Certainly better than the MB or BMW models I've had over the years. It sounds like you may have a defective sensor.
If it's very cold outside the cabin temperature to feel weird because the F-Type cabin is small enough to put you in proximity to the windows and pano roof which are both heat conducting.
But you live in LA so it looks more like a sensor or control issue.

As for the air bag it must only be on the passenger side as I weigh 100 and the driver side airbag appears to be illinated when I start the car.

I have the same issue and mentioned it before. It can be 45 degrees outside and I set the temperture for 70 degrees. But when it reaches 70 degrees it does not maintain it and the air condition comes on! it does the same thing in auto mode. I do not much care as I am in Florida but hopefully this summer when it is almost 100 the heater does not come on when the cabin gets too cool with the ac running.

I complained about this in another thread:
Climate Control can't hold its temperature. I'm on the East Coast, and it's cold here. The car blows cold air at me even when it's on 75. Even if it gets warm after a cold start, it then thinks it's too hot and then blows in coldish air....I'm always uncomfortable and playing with the temperature knob. Sucks. I brought it to my dealer and they reprogrammed it after they saw it couldn't hold a temperature....didn't work....I don't have time to go back and forth so I'm going to wait until it goes back in next month for the recalls.
