What owners report

  • I had smoke coming from under the hood. Ac compressor was burning up, and entire ac system needed to be replaced, only for the ac to stop outputting cool air on hot days unless I'm driving over 55 mph. *tr

    filed May 13, 2014

  • The ac in this vehicle has always under performed. It did not get really cold and had to be run on the high setting constantly. Just last week the compressor failed completely. *tr
