 Equipment: air conditioner as warm weather in maryland ended (2011) i noticed the air not being cool. last year (2012) when it became hot enough to turn on the air conditioner i received nothing but hot air. the car was taken to have diagnosis, but i was told by several private mechanics that the compressor had freon and i should check with the dealer because if i add freon i could damage the compressor. freon was not added. i contacted the dealer and i was informed i would be charged $100.00 for diagnosis. that's when i checked the internet to see similar issues with the verdict being the compressor was not working. why would there been a compressor that goes out in a 2008 kia rondo in 2011. *tr
