“System would not blow or turn on to defroster”

“It required refilling refrigerant and fixing the leak. The AC had stopped working entirely”

“Apparently, the ac system feeds the front and the rear on separate lines. The rear line started to leak refrigerant at 35000 miles, affecting the autos total ac. The dealer cost to replace the tubing was excessive so I had a local garage install a kit that shut off the line feeding the rear at a quarter of the cost”

“So GMC recalls the power steering pump but when I took it in because of the grinding they claim it is also the rack and pinion. It is $1,000 to replace the rack and pinion. This is a common issue and GMC refuses to address this as a recall”
