2016 GL350 A/C question

We have a 2016 GL350 Bluetec. This week it was 91 degrees outside and sunny. We were in traffic and had to idle a bit too for other reasons. The A/C felt warm even with maxcool on. When the car got going again, it seemed to be better but never great. Car is black/black with 11,000 miles, we bought it new. Is this normal or should we have it checked out? Tx.

I would definitely get it checked out. A 2016 with 11k miles should have ZERO a/c cooling issues. It could be low on refrigerant due to a leak or a/c compressor going out. Either of those problems can cause intermittent cooling issues.
