What Owners Say

A/C compressor

"On very hot days, after driving for 3 or more hours, the AC quits blowing cold air, with an equal reduction in fan speed. It just blows sort of cool air. After sitting for some time, the AC works fine again. It's a known problem with a work around (re-programming the computer) for these vehicles in the hot and humid southern States, but I live in the West. Also, there is unequal pressure in the compressor control valve, which I'm going to have replaced for a lot less than a new compressor that is on back order."
