Dakota LX 5.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,000 miles

Air conditioner is terrible. In a cool garage it will put out 60 degrees only while driving on freeway, at stoplights it jumps to 80+. degrees. I Live in Arizona. I replaced the whole unit after two times bringing it to the dealer who always tested in mornings and in cool garage and said it was fine no matter what I told them. The vehicle still only has 96k miles and not worth driving in summer. I have kept it in mint condition. New tranny 100k warranty old one had metal. Follow scheduled maintenance. Auto zone said artic freeze won't help.
