We had no choice I needed my car, so we told them to fix it. When we went to pick the car up,we paid our bill, I drove off and it started doing the same exact thing. We took the car back and the head of service was there. …”
NHTSA complaint #10197724, filed 2007-07, 95,295 miles“Air conditioner compressor does not disengage when the manual selector switch is moved from the defrost position.
