1998 Pontiac gran prix daytonia limited edition 3.8 V6 super charger engine. Less that 50,000 miles. A/C compressor has gone out, service mgr. (rick) bob neill Pontiac, winston-salem, nc has advised us that warranty expired in May 2004. Company will not do anything to correct this problem. In a car with less than 50,000 miles the A/C compressor should last longer. Also own 1992 Chrysler T & C mini van A/C still going strong original parts and A/C coolant.

Air conditioner odor due to water remaining in airbox fermenting, 4 years later no solution although repair shop says they replaced evaporator core they did not, , advised me to turn on fan for 5 minutes after using air conditioner, hardly reasonable to do, sit in car for 5 minutes before leaving, they did spray some kind of fungicidal into airbox once and have since been thinking about what to do.
