Consumer Description

OWNER NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT COOLING. VERIFIED THAT COMPRESSOR WAS RUNNING, BUT IT DID NOT LOAD THE ENGINE - SUSPECTED LOSS OF REFRIGERANT. DEALER CONFIRMED NO REFRIGERANT WAS IN SYSTEM, AND FOUND THAT IT HAD LEAKED OUT OF CONDENSER VIA A SMALL HOLE, PROBABLY CAUSED BY SOMETHING STRIKING THE CONDENSER. OWNER HAD DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OWNERS OF SAME MODEL OF VEHICLE REGARDING THE A/C CONDENSER BEING EXPOSED AND NOT APPROPRIATELY PROTECTED BY GRILLE, AND OVER A YEAR AGO HAD CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS APPARENT OVERSIGHT. MFR RESPONDED BY SAYING THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. OWNER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER WITH THIS INCIDENT AND TO DATE HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE. REPAIRS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $800. OWNER WANTS TO KNOW WHY THE MANUFACTURER HAS DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND WANTS MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. OWNER'S SPOUSE HAS MEDICAL CONDITION REQUIRING AIR CONDITIONING. *TR
