“In 8/98 we began to have problems with the A/C. We have spent almost $2000, in repairs and it is still not working. We are now being told it is the compressor, even though we had it replaced in 8/98, along with the accumulator. We have had fan motors and fan blades replaced. Also we had the evaporator cleaned and serviced. We no cannot afford to purchase a new vehicle at this time. We just someone to help us with our problem. We live in florida and really need the A/C when it is 98degrees outside!”
