anyone had a problem where after you start your car, drive off and the air condition turns on like a ghost presses the button. Turn it of and a few seconds later turns on again. This problem happens every now and then.

Yes, I think we've ALL had the problem. Just turn the know all the way to the left (to the lowest setting) and it will stop happening. Worked for me, damn, I love this forum.

I think interior condensation causes the A/C to turn on.

Also if you haven't realize if theres even a very slight bump can cause it to turn on also..

Mine only does it when the temp settings are set to cold. It will continually turn back on, all I do is set the temp knobs warmer and then turn off the AC. works every time
