NHTSA complaint #11245613, filed 2019-08“Air conditioner began making loud noise with accelaration, than within a few moments began blowing hot air. The compressor and clutch were replaced and within 1 week the problem began again. I know 7 people with GM vehicles and they all are having the same problem with their AC's. It seems to only be a problem when there is high humidity. However when I went to return the faulty compressor and clutch I had purchased it seems they are on nation wide backorder. It seems to me there is a problem here.”
