Consumer Description

COMPONENT: AIR CONDITIONER DETAILS: I AM BASICALLY HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MY AIR CONDITIONING. IT WILL KICK OFF. THE AIR RECIRCULATION WILL ALSO KICK OFF AND CHANGE TO FRESH AIR. IT IS DRIVING ME UP A WALL. I LIVE IN GEORGIA AND NOT HAVING AN AIR CONDITIONER IS AWFUL, BUT TO HAVE ONE THAT WILL WORK SOMETIMES, IS AWFUL. I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM IN 2005. MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER WROTE: C/S AC WILL SWITCH FROM RECIRCULATION TO FRESH AIR BY ITSELF. ALSO SAID AT TIME IT FEELS LIKE THE A/C IS ON WHEN IT'S NOT. HEATER CONTROL HEAD HAS INTERNAL SHORT CAUSING IT TO SWITCH BY ITSELF. INSPECT AND REPLACE HEATER/AC CONTROL HEAD. PARTS $157.48, LABOR $142.50, TAX $11.02. TOTAL $311.80. THIS TIME I ONLY HAD TO PAY $100 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS WAS DONE ON 7/28/05, INVOICE CVCS51146 AT CARTERSVILLE CHEVROLET IN CARTERSVILLE, GA. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT FAILS EVERY 3 YEARS!! IT IS A 2002 AND FAILED THE FIRST TIME IN 2005 AND AGAIN NOW IN 2008!!! WILL CHEVROLET PAY FOR THIS??? THEY SHOULD. *TR
