After moderate use, the AC in the car stopped blowing cold air this summer and had a loud hissing sound. I took the car to an AC specialist and a leak could not be found. I spent $400 to do a recharge and add dye to the system. 2 weeks later, the cold air was gone again. A closer look at the same shop proved the AC evaporator has failed and is leaking. Repair was estimated at $350 part + 10 hours labour.
