my a/c worked great until a damn rock landed in my condenser. And now the dealership wants $600 to fix it.

Last summer I remember my A/C being painfully cold. Now my A/C struggles to cool the car off.

LOL! There is no Freon in our cars. They don't use that anymore in new cars.

But yeah we are probablt low on R-134A.

Last year I used to have to turn mine down all the time, and it seemed like it blew cold immediately. It also feels like the fans in my car are weaker.

Take out your cabin air filter. I did that and that made a hell of a diffrence. I believe your suppose to have 1.2lbs of freon in our cars. There is a sticker under the hood that will say how much. You may be low, but you also may have to much and it could be freezing up. You could have water in the system, or air. Anything is possible.

My A/C freaking sucks. I think I might have to get it recharged but I might have to save up for that.

A/c should be covered over warranty.
