D****m dealer now AC is messed up

Took my car in to get a bad 02 sensor replaced and some airbag sensor fixed. Now after driving the car for about half an hour or so while having the AC on, it will turn into heat. I would then have to turn off the AC and then turn it back on for the AC to work. AC was working fine before it went in for the 02 sensor and other sensor changes.

Had the car for less then a year and have gone to the dealer about 8 to 10 times. And that is not even exagerating. Unbelievable.

But anyways, anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing it. I have an appointment on Thursday to bring it in but hoping that is will be covered under warranty because my truck is in the shop also and will probably run me a grand or so to repair the problem on the truck.

Going broke just trying to keep the cars running.

My car actually has the same problem. If I have the car on heat, and then turn it to cold with the a/c on, it will stay as heat until I shut the air conditioning off and turn it back on. I was wondering why it did it as well, but it's not a big enough nuseance for me to really complain about it. It takes a total of 2 seconds to fix.

Mine just started doing this over the past month...have to take it in soon as its very annoying to play with while driving. Funny thing is my car's build date was several months after the example in the TSB.
