| Description of the problem | As the weather got warmer i tried to use my ac and it just blew hot air. I have no knowledge of vehicles and assumed because it was the first time i had turned it on i would have to let it get broken in. So the next hot day came and again i turned my ac on and no cool air. So i contacted my dealer. I informed them of my situation and i took it in. I then was contacted and informed that i had a rock in my ac condenser. Of course i was so upset when they said it would be 800$ to repair this. So i have been looking into this and have found that this is actually a common issue with the jukes being that the openings next to the fog lights have no screens and the condenser is completely exposed. I have found many blogs where people are having the same issues. I just like everyone else just has had to eat the cost of replacing the parts and cost of labor. I just want this to be aware because this was my first ever new car and i am having a bad experience. *js |
