One of the most annoying features in our car.

Indeed! Wait...can an annoyance be a "feature"?

I can see the ac being turned on when the car starts is normal but not the intermittently on after it was turned off when driving. In fact there were several threads on this topic awhile back and if my memory is correct, it was caused due to a malfunction sensor or some sort which requires the replacement of the entire control unit hence many members just learn to live with it, like myself.

If anyone does know a way to correct this issue, please chime in.

This has also happened to me a few times. I wonder if others can chime in if the problem gets worse over time, ie. the control unit fails to turn on at all, etc.
