2012 Pathfinder - hard idle while AC on

I just purchased a used 2012 Pathfinder S model and noticed today that there is a hard idle when the AC is turned on - has anyone had this issue?

It doesn't happen when the AC is off nor when the AC is set all the way to "4" which is why I didn't feel it during the test drive because we were blasting the AC. Does this sound like an issue with the compressor or something else? Is it "normal"?

It handles perfectly for me otherwise - I love the truck feel!

Same with mine. Didn't notice during test drive, but yup, it's normal.

my sv does the same thing, actually had the dealer look at it while it was still under warranty all is fine.

My concern is the electric fan that starts screaming when the ac is on. IS that normal?
