| Description of the problem | Air conditioning is blowing ambient air. Purchased august 1, 2016. Has 47,900 miles and suddenly started blowing warm on july 3, 2019. I have read there is a known issue with the compressors in this model and have an appointment with my dealership july 18, 2019. The issue is independent of being stationary, moving, in gear, or parked. As a known problem i am hoping for a recall to fix the issue, but have not yet seen one in spite of numerous complaints filed. |
