The air conditioner cuts off for no reason which causes the heat inside the vehicle to go extremely high causing us to pull over to the side of the road to restart the vehicle.this can be dangerous as there is not always a good place to pull off. If you don't pull off to restart the vehicle temperatures can rise to 100+ degrees very quickly especially here in Florida!
