I knew my fan was probably the issue because my X was baking in the sun for hours. When I started it up I immediately turned on the A/C to auto @ 68 degrees F on both sides. The fan ran for about 30 seconds, then stopped for about 10 seconds and then came back on a strong as before. I know the car was still way over 68 degrees when it cut off.

Also, the other time it quit working was after I had been driving for about 30 minutes with the A/C on, so the car was probably at the temp it should have been. However, I could tell that all of a sudden the car became more than a couple degrees warmed in a short amount of time, so I assumed it was the fan too. When I manually turned up the fan speed the temp came back down.
