My 2006 Chevrolet Equinox has a un -fixable [per dealer] a.C. problem. Driving in Florida with temps in the high nines in traffic the temp inside the car is much higher. Being in our seventies I nearly passed out while driving. This problem is rampart on google with hundreds of the same issue. Trying to drive with in-car temp. Over 112 is scary and not safe.
