NHTSA Complaint #10748292 — 2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA

ON JULY 9, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 4PM I NOTICED WHAT APPEARED TO BE (COLD) FROST BLOWING FROM THE INSIDE VENTS OF MY VEHICLE, AND AS I LOOKED AT THE TEMP. GAUGE I NOTICED IT WAS GOING UP IN THE 200S SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY HEAT TOO REDUCED THE TEMP., BECAUSE I THOUGHT TH VEHICLE WAS OVER HEATING. BUT AFTER AWHILE I NOTIED THE TEMP WAS NOT GOING DOWN SO I SWITCHED TI THE AC, AND IMMEDIATELY THE TEMP. BEGAN TO GO DOWN BACK TO NORMAL, WHICH IS 181 ON AVERAGE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS, AS I DID HAVE COOLANT IN THE OVERFLOW TANK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THIS ISSUE TO THE SERVICE PERSON AND THEY STATED SOMETHING ABOUT THE AC COMPRESSOR, WHICH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. SO I'VE BEEN RUNNING MY AC WHENEVER THE TEMP GAUGE GOES UP. TO THIS DAY I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
