Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WOULD CUT OFF WHEN I STOPPED FOR RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES THEY SAID THE AC CONDENSER WAS BAD. IT WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. IN 2009 AT APPROXIMATELY 25000 MILES. I BEGAN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THAT I WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST $800 TO REPLACE THE AC CONDENSER AGAIN. I PURCHASED AN AC CONDENSER FROM THE INTERNET AND HAD SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE DEALER REPLACE. NOW FEBRUARY 2014, I NOTICED A PUDDLE UNDER MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ONCE AGAIN MY AC CONDENSER NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. ONCE AGAIN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS ITEM. I CURRENTLY HAVE 150000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. *TR
