 Air conditioning is inoperative. we have had several problems with our a/c. the first complaint was a loud noise during operation. dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. our second trip to the dealership was regarding a foul odor from the a/c. both of these issues hae technical service bulletins. the most recent trip to the dealership was on7/1/2003. the dealership fixed the foul odor smell, but on 8/25/2003 our a/c stopped functioning. on 3/25/2003 the vehicle had 22,000 miles. on 7/1/2003 the vehicle had 58,400 miles. as of 8/25/3003 our vehicle has 62,300 miles. our vehicle came with the 60,000 warranty. i called the dealership yesterday to request a service visit and asked if the inoperative a/c was going to be covered under warranty and of course i received the you are out of your warranty period statement. there are currently two technical service bulletins indicating a problem with the inoperative a/c's for this vehicle. i contacted oldsmobile customer service to assist with having the a/c fixed under warranty. palmen oldsmobile already denied warranty service regardless of technical bulletins and history of problems. palmen oldsmobile will not fix under a goodwill warranty. i believe the a/c system on a new vehicle should last more than 2.5 years. *ak
