| In june of 2002 my a/c compressor froze leaving me without my air conditioner during june, july, and part of august. i had the compressor and other components fixed at the end of august at the cost of $504.00. i got to use my a/c for a whole 3 weeks until the weather cooled off! now (may 2003), my a/c doesn't work again! apparently there is a leaky h-valve and other components that need to be replaced at the cost of $680.00. i refuse to shell out any more money for this piece of crap car as this is my 3rd complaint to nhtsa. *jb | |||
