| Description of the problem | Ac compressor failure. I see several forum online of customers with the same problem. Compressor will run fine for 15 minutes then blows hot air. I took the car back once before directly after purchase because it made a lot of noise when the ac was running. They said it was 'normal'. It also blows a white cloud back into the car that trigger my asthma. |
