Air conditioner started blowing hot air, the evaporator had failed. It is mounted in front of the radiator and I paid $600 to have it replaced since I'm in Florida and you cannot live here without it, especially since the interior is black. It is frustrating and expensive and not what you expect for a car that was less than two years old. Very disappointing!!!!!!
