Why does my Kia Sportage heater turn off after an hour?
Problem: If I’m driving with the AC on, after an hour the air from the vents becomes less and less cool until it is essentially the same temp as the air in the car. So I hit the AC button and let just the fan run for 10-15 minutes, then hit the AC button again (to turn it on), and the air blasts out cold!
What should the a / C be on a Kia Sportage?
A way to test this is to get a good refrigerator thermometer or one for testing A/C, and put it at a vent in the flow of air, set A/C to max air. If it gets below freezing or really close to freezing before the A/C compressor cluth kicks out, this is most likely the problem. These are usually set at 34f and up depending on make and model.
How long does it take to replace temperature sensor in Kia Sportage?

What’s the problem with my 2007 Kia Sportage?
I am having the same problem with my 2007 Kia Sportage and the dealership has not been successful in fixing the problem. The service manager told me that he was unaware of a sensor for the Sportage A/C unit. Not sure what your symptoms are but the problem I had was with a clogged cabin air filter.
How does the Kia Sportage air conditioner work?
My 2005 Sportage is very difficult to keep from getting fogged up. When the temp is below freezing I can never see out the second row windows or the rear window. I notice no difference in the air quality when I push the button to recirculate cabin air or leave it in the default position for fresh air.
