Air conditioning issue: in the summer of 2006 my air conditioning was going out. The dealership changed the fan and it appeared to all work. The summer of 2007, (now) my car is in the shop again with ac problems that cannot be diagnosed because they can't find an error code. When the air went out, the lcd readings on the climate control system looked like scrambled digits. Doesn't work, and the shop can't seem to find the problem.
: the contact stated with the windows rolled up in the rain, water is leaking inside the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. However, the contact suspected the pollen filter in the air conditioner was the cause.
Consumer stated there was a noise coming from the air conditioner when driving 60 mph, with the outside air on, dealer replaced pollen filter.
