 I purchased a chevrolet venture 2004 brand new in october. next year in mid may the air conditioner work good but that only last it a month or less. now i bought this van for my business in transportation. i can not have my passengers in the vehicle being so hot. since then until now its been in and out of the shop and still the air conditioner is not working. the problem is that hot air comes out and the van does not overheat. the weird part is that the when the temperature rising the air comes out a little more cooler but not like its supposed to. its hard for me to being taking the van in all the time. this is my van that i have the wheelchair installed in for my passengers. i bought it new with the confidence that it will be in good condition and comfortable my self and my passenger. this van is used for business, so its hard to take it to the shop and still coming out the same. the van has been recharged, the filters have been cleaned and changed, the air duct/door has been inspected. every thing that is need to be inspected and changed has been performed. *nm
