Default A/C Issues with 2013 Q5?

Recently took a small 300 miles road trip with my 2013 Q5 and the A/C did not seem to be cooling to the level it should. I cranked it to its max and I never felt cool to the point that my shirt was sticking to my back. As soon as I got home I checked with my laser thermometer and it was actually cooling to around 50 degrees out of all the vents. Only other thing I notices was a large puddle of water under the car.

In day to day driving it seems to cool fine and the dealer stated they were getting temperatures within range. Not sure if anyone else had a similar issues. I live in Florida so the A/C is critical especially in the 90+ summers.

Bet you got the sunroof, huh? Try applying some radiant-barrier tint to it and see if that helps. I deleted the pano. My A/C is set to 80 and it is still too cold sometimes. Even here in Texas, where it is already 95 outside.
