2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I HAD JUST STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY SUV SHUDDERED AND THEN STALLED OUT. IT RESTARTED BUT THE A/C LIGHT BLINKED. THE DEALER SAID THE A/C FROZE UP (AT 42000 MILES) AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $1700.00- NOT UNDER WARRANTY. IT WILL BE FIXED IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO. IF THE LIGHT HAD NOT CHANGED WHEN IT DID I MAY HAVE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF THE BUSIEST INTERSECTIONS IN VIRGINIA BEACH ( SO UNSAFE THERE ARE RED LIGHT CAMERAS AT THAT INTERSECTION). PRIOR TO THIS THE A/C HAD WORKED PERFECTLY, SO THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. *TR
