Consumer Description

MY CAR NEVER COOLED WELL. THERE WOULD BE BURSTS OF COOL AIR AND THEN WARMER. IT WAS NEVER AS COLD AS OTHER CARS I RODE IN. WE BEGAN NOTICING A STRANGE NOISE ON ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT IN A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY HAD A MECHANIC JUST COME LISTEN, BUT NEVER HAD A REASON TO SEND IT IN FOR SERVICING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN FORMALLY ON 6-25-13 TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MISSOURI WHO FIXED THE CAR AFTER IT WAS HIT BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS FAILED! NOTHING WAS FOUND, ALTHOUGH THE BODYSHOP MAN WROTE UP THE WORK ORDER WRONG AS A SURGING. IT WAS A STRANGE SURGING CLICKING ON ACCELERATION, BUT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS UNDER THE DASH. WE THEN WOULD NOTICE THE AIR WOULD WARM SIGNIFICANTLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. I ALSO TOOK IT INTO HAMILTON WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THEY FOUND NOTHING. NOW, 4 YEARS OLD THE AIR-CONDITIONED HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THE SOUND, BT MUCH LOUDER AND MORE LIKE A COMPRESSOR, AND WHEN BREAKING AND ACCELERATING. NOW, THEY FIND THE ISSUE ISA COMPUTER MODULE. 4 YEAR OLD CARS SHOULD NOT HAVE AN AIR-CONDITIONER GO OUT!
