1 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 03/08/2014

Was driving on the street and all of the sudden white smoke started to come out of the engine that smelled like rubber. The air conditioner was also making a loud noise. I pulled over and shut everything off. Called the dealer who walked me through and we verified it was the air conditioner clutch that broke off. No warning lights on the dash or anything. Ac is now unusable until its fixed. Glad it didn't catch on fire, we pulled over immediately when it happened. Now I have to get it fixed, $1200+.

2 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2010

First the air conditioner flickers on and off on settings 1, 2 and 3. So it is constantly switching off. Second the cd player will not accept or play cds, it just says check disc and ejects the disc. The clock changes time occasionally too.
