I have a '13 Accord that I've been having A/C issues with. I just worked on the car and vacuumed out the old refrigerant and filled with new (put the correct amount as specified by manufacturer). I checked both fans and they do turn on On hot days when it gets 90+,
I have to put it on full blast for at least 20+ minutes for it to become"tolerable". The car is silver with light grey interior. compressor works as it should, no leaks to be found and condenser doesn't seem to be clogged.
You say the condensor is not clogged. Have you removed the cabin air filter and looked at the evaporator? If you have a shedding pet the cold side under the dash can get blocked with hair. Also have you checked to make sure you are not drawing in outside air. Maybe a vent is not working properly. As has already been suggested, maybe you are low on freon. I have a 1995 Toyota and live in south Florida. It took longer than I thought it should to cool down, so I added more freon using gauges. r134-a is best added by a scale, guages don't always give an accurate reading. I kept the low side below 40psi and after adding 1/2 a can the a/c began to blow cold within seconds, even in a car that bakes in the sun all day at work.
I have a Honda CRV which is 19 years old, petrol engine. About eight years ago my cooling system blew up as I put it on on a very hot day. I had a new system and since then I find that the car cools much faster if you open all the windows immediately upon reaching the car, drive for a couple of kilometers and then turn on the air con and close the windows, the system is then much faster to cool the car!!! Driving a couple of kilometers with the windows down I do not find a problem, even if the air is hot, it cools the car which is hotter! I would never start my cooling system again in a hot car without cooling it a little in this way first in case it blew again!
