Cavalier LS

  • Automatic transmission

I have tried to recharge the AC unit twice now and I am getting no cold air will come out, I don't know if there is a clog or if the clutch is going out, I have been told by a few different people what It could be, have had a guy look at it and he had no Idea what is going on and neither do I. I don't have much money to pay for repairs but I would love to have air conditioning so I don't have to be sweating my butt off while driving to work due to the heat being so high lately!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

This is the second time the stupid air went out in the car. The last time is was something simple; a fuse had blown, now it could be the air compressor or who knows and living in Atlanta in 100 degrees without working A/C is no fun!

Here is another addition to the endless saga of interior problems occurring in my TWO YEAR OLD Chevy Cavalier. I never got much out of the AC and it has been blowing out hot air for a long time. After a systems diagnostic at a shop, I was told that the AC Compressor was not responding and the dryer unit was gone, dead. This vehicle is two years old and the AC compressor goes out. Over 950 dollars and the part alone is 650. My tint and my tolerance has been taxed and the tint needs to be redone because the head inside is getting too high. My window heaters still work. I was informed there was no coolant leak. This is outrageous. The engine runs so beautiful and looks great and so does this car. But now no AC...

Here is a list of the ongoing interior problems Dash board failure Window motor(s) failure AC Compressor ABS Warning Lights appearing and staying on CD Player Failure Radio Failure Dome Light Surge

Remember this vehicle is a 2004.
