| A/c stopped working with the car's odometer at 65k miles (car is 6yrs old). dealer diagnosed as evaporator failure with estimated repair cost of $4500. on the web, others are also experiencing the same problem even at 50k miles, while older generations of the same car from the same maker never had such issue. this is clearly an impurity case and the part should be recalled, as evaporator shouldn't fail at such age. | |||
