| The driver of the vehicle had noticed that the output of the air conditioner had been diminishing over several weeks. then one day, a loud and rattling sound came from under the hood when the air conditioner was on. several people looked under the hood briefly for the source of the noise with no success. later in the day the owner of the car parked it in his garage and begin to inverstigate the problem. with the motor on and the hood up, the owner could see no clear source of the noise. he returned to the driver's seat at which time a loud explosion occured accompanied by a cloud of refrigerant. a later investigation revealed a large opening in the forward face of the air compressor that had been the result of an explosion. one large piece remained in the cavity while several other pieces were strewn on the floor. the car was driven to the dealer who obtained permission to replace the a/c system under warranty. the potential for serious injury to anyone peering under the hood at the time of this explosion is obvious. the dealer was quick to have the system replaced with no delays. *ak | |||
