We bought this 2017 Buick Encore used at 46K miles. At 98K miles the AC quit blowing cold. We were towards the end of the extended warranty. We had to take it to the dealer, since they were the only ones local who were taking extended warranty claims. They performed the diagnostics, and found the freon was low. Filled with dye, found the AC hose was leaking. GM Part Number 42588258. The replaced the hose, refilled, and leak checked. AC Fixed. The hose is metal and rubber, and was leaking where the rubber joins to the metal. Cost $1000. Enjoy!
