I STARTED THE ENGINE AND HEARD A CLANG. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND THERE WAS A PART OF THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR (PART OF THE CLUTCH) LAYING ON THE GROUND. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE BEARINGS FAILED AND IT WAS FALLING APART. I NOTICED ON EDMOND'S THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MILEAGE FOR THE SAME MODEL SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD DOCUMENT THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR
