Air Conditioner problems of the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500

Air conditioner stopped working at 70,000 miles.

Air conditioning failed. This needs to be documented. Not a "safety" issue at first, but with pets and kids it can become one. I have owned this truck for a little over a year. I bought it used for over $35,000. It had 50,000 miles on it. My first summer the a/c worked, but not great. Last week I tried to use my a/c and nothing but hot air. I thought it was strange being only a couple years old. I paid to get the freon re-charged. The freon leaked out after 2 days and a/c stopped working. I had to schedule a diagnostic appointment for $118. I have done research and it sounds like I should be looking at a repair costing anywhere from $800 to $2,000. There have been several online complaints, along with a class action law suit to cover this problem. The issue is that it is a "luxury item" not a safety item. It needs to be documented on all websites that this is an issue, so consumers can be informed. This can be dangerous when traveling with young children and pets. The air that comes out of the vents is extremely hot. In hot temperatures this can become dangerous.
