HVAC, low refrigerant .. AGAIN ?
Just returned from a 500 mile trip, AC slowly losing its coldness.
By yesterday it was only cooling on driver vents.
Going to Chev dealer this week, but thinking they may need some advice?
Car 100% maintained by Chev dealer, except one refill done in Jan, on da road DIY, just to get us home.
Car has been to dealer several times on AC complaints, so far no $$ repair charges.
Every time, the cold air 1st stopped on passenger side, keeping driver side going almost another week as long as it was set at 60F, with manual fan speed; then no cold air anywhere - so I assume compressor shuts down due to low refrigerant.
DEALER has checked for leaks several times, none found.
History, THREE refills that I know about,
one back in 2016, about 9,000 miles, dealer.
last two:
16,800 miles, 01/2019, dealer
15,500 miles, 06/2017, DIY
other cars in the family have had ZERO AC issues, including a '92 and a '87, still running on original everything - something is wrong that needs repair.
thanks in advance for any help
