Air conditioning is not working correctly. It blows well but will not cool. I can feel some coolness out of passenger side but driver side is hot air. If you turn the fan knob to low then both sides will cool but it is not enough to cool anything. Have had it checked and there is plenty of coolant. It started July of 2016 so I drove it very little it is much worse this summer July of 2017. Its the same result driving or stationary. In the early morning if it's cool outside it does get cooler but as the day gets warmer so does the air coming out of the air conditioning vents.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact received a warranty letter from the manufacturer for the battery connections. The vehicle was repaired, but the air conditioning failed. The dealer could not determine the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
When starting my car from any stationary position, 0 mph (flat parking, on a hill or at an angle) the starter will engage and continue to run and run without starting the engine. In order to start the car, I have to turn off the ignition and try again. The second time the car will start (so far). Also, when I use the air conditioner (car in motion, any speed 0-65mph, on city streets and on highways) there is a coolant smell that comes out or the vents. It is a strong smell and I cannot figure out a pattern for when it happens. It happens when I have the car running, sometimes when I first turn on the air conditioner and them it will happen randomly as I am driving and the air conditioner has been on for a while. I have never tried to see if it happens when I don't have the engine running (don't know if the air conditioner can run without the engine running).
