I know A.c. doesn't last forever. This is the second time it needs fixing in 11 years, so maybe that's not so bad. At about 7 years, the fan went out on all but the highest fan setting. Then, despite the addition of Freon within the past 12 months, there is NO cooling whatsoever. Don't know yet if there's a Freon leak or if the entire a.c. needs replacing or what. This a.c. has never run as cool or as quickly as my partner's 2004 Toyota Corolla, which provides almost INSTANT cooling.
