“My car started making a horrible noise under the hood on the way home from work back in december. I live about 4 miles from work. I thought it was a fan belt or another kind of belt. I was going about 25-30mph. Smoke started pouring from under the hood. I was scared that it was going to blaze up. I kept going about a half a mile so I could pull into a store parking lot. By this time, the smoke was really coming from under the hood. The men inside the store came to my rescue. I jumped out of the car and they raised the hood and sae that the AC compressor had stopped working. …”

Air conditioner lost freon due to leaks in the coil built in the dash. This caused oil to plug the fins thus blocking air flow. It was stated that GM used a crimping process instead of sodering the fins when they built this type of receiver.if you do not fix , you will not get full air for the defrosters to work.”
