#701364December 15, 1998
EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE AIR CONDITIONER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED EVAPORATOR COIL. I QUESTIONED HOW AN EVAPORATOR COIL COULD FAIL, SINCE IN MY EXPERIENCE HAVING OWNED MORE THAN 80 VEHICLES I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN EVAPORATOR COIL JUST FAILING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE EVAPORATOR COIL ARE SUBJECT TO CORROSION AND RAPID FAILURE WHEN THE SYSTEM IS CHARGED WITH R-134 REFRIGERANT. THOSE SYSTEMS THAT FAILED PRIOR TO REACHING 70,000 MILES WERE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPONENTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY FAILED. THOSE OF US WHO HAD THESE FAILURES OCCUR AFTER THE 70,000 MILE CUTOFF ARE FACED WITH APPROXIMATELY $1,000 IN REPAIR COSTS. THE REALLY TERRIBLE PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY FAIL AGAIN WITHIN 2 YEARS AND THERE IS NO BETTER COMPONENT AVAILABLE TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE TO CHRYSLER, RATHER ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AFTER SWITCHING TO THE NEW REFRIGERANTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN DUPED AGAIN.
