Consumer Description

EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED THIS NEW CAR - THE A/C IS SO SO LOUD!!! YOU CAN HEAR IT CLICK ON AND IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO BLOW UP!!! I TOOK MY NEW CAR FOR ITS 1ST OIL CHG ON 7/14/2012 AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY DID AND SAID THAT NOISE IS NORMAL. ITS SO LOUD - I SHUT IT OFF AT TIMES - BECAUSE ITS COMPETING WITH THE RADIO WITH VOLUME!! THIS IS NOT NORMAL. *TR
