1 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2014

I drove from palm springs, CA to santa monica, CA. My air conditioning was working fine. Two days later after driving around santa monica my air conditioner didn't work any longer. I drove back to palm springs and went to the dealer immediately. They diagnosed my car by Friday, October 2,2012 and told me their was a hole in my condenser and it was not their fault. It was not covered by the warranty. Needless to say, I feel that either the grill or design is a defect and should not be charged. I take excellent care of my car and there has been no accidents.

2 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2013

I was traveling on a turnpike in moderate traffic at approximately 74 miles per hour. I felt the vehicle get warm inside so I increased the air conditioning to low (maximum cool setting) . About a minute later, I heard a loud "pop" and that was the sunroof exploding. When it happened, the inside cover came open about two (2) inches and glass particles fell on the interior of the vehicle including myself. Fortunately, the glass did notget into my eyes and was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road without incident. About 60% of the glass blew out ofthe vehicle unto the road behind me. Trailing vehicles were not involved and again, fortunate that there was no tailgating or the glass would have flown onto their vehicles. The glass exploded into sharp shards and in pices about a quarter inch. Worst case would have been glass in the eyes and not being able to control the vehicle.
