Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Air from air conditioner not cool. noticed air conditioner not cooling as well in fall of 1999. since winter was near i did not use it until the following spring. first time in the shop no leak found but no coolant in the system. coolant replaced and worked for about 4 weeks. then same problem. in shop again and was told i needed new compressor. said it was leaking around case of compressor. this is a very expensive repair ($1000). i asked gm to help me out with it because i felt an airconditioner should last longer than 4 years. they declined because it had 71,000 miles on it.
