problem #1

Jun 052017

Rio LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 59,000 miles

Bought the car certified, a couple weeks later, started blowing hot air from the A/C. Took it in, replaced the compressor, good to go. Started blowing hot air again a few weeks later. Took it back, replaced the sensor. A month later, started blowing hot air again.

Keep in mind, this is all intermittent. It's not like once it happened, it just blew hot air all the time. Sometimes it'd be fine, other times not.

Dealership kept the car for two weeks, couldn't replicate. Now I am on standby waiting for it to happen again so I can drop everything and take it back while it's happening so they can figure out what's going on. Pretty darn frustrating.
