| 10500 mi | The AC would “freeze up” and stop blowing cold air. You could hear the fan making lots of noise but almost no air coming from the vents. You could turn the AC off and let the fan blow on high until everything thawed out again (5 to 10 minutes) and then use AC normally... well, until it “froze up” and stopped operating properly. Did research to determine the Evaporator Coil Tempurature Sensor (thermistor) had failed. Fortunately the dealer was able to test the part to determine it was bad. (Unfortunately it took two trips to the dealer.) Dealer ordered and installed part under warranty. No charge at all. |
