Air Conditioner problems of the 2003 GMC Yukon

Air conditioner compressor has gone out a total of 3 times and only has 70k miles. First time was around 12k miles, second time was around 33k miles and now it is not working at all and needs to be replaced again.

I have taken my 2003 GMC Yukon xl in for service on the air conditioner on more than one occasion. I recently moved from michigan to tennessee and while living in michigan I notices a squealing noise whenever I turned on my ac. The noise would last a few minutes and then stop. I also noticed a rattling noise upon acceleration while the ac was on. I took it to the dealer in michigan and at first nothing was found. I again took it to a dealership in tennessee and was told that it was a recycling switch, and it was replaced. Now, almost I year later the same problem has occurred but unfortunately, my vehicle is now out of warranty (50,000 miles) and I am now told that the air compressor has completely failed. It will now cost me over $1,000 to repair on a car that is less than two years old.

I have had ongoing problems with my 2003 GMC Yukon. It started in September of 2004 with my rear air not working, it was inoperable; and, a popping noise in my steering, the steering felt loose. The rear air was temporarily fixed in October of 2004 but continues to be a problem now in September of 2005, one year later. I've never really had rear air since I bought the vehicle, it works occasionally. I still have no rear air and vehicle has been in the shop more than 7 times for this problem. It took until January of 2005 to fix the steering problem. I've also had problems with my speedometer, which quit working in December of 2004 and the part was on back order and I had to take my vehicle in and leave for the dealership to send the speedometer to California for reprogramming, this problem was fixed in January of 2005.
