A/C Failure.

What is your question?

I have read many issues with the Air Conditioning failing. I think one reason is a design defect. The two lines run along the left side of the car over the wheel well and through part of the chassis. This section that runs through the chassis is suppose to have a plastic bushing or isolator so that it will not rub on the chassis. In my car this bushing fell out and the high pressure line dropped against the chassis and a hole was rubbed into the line. This started a chain of events where metal entered the condenser and eventually the compressor causing both to fail at a price tag of over $2500 for repairs. I recommend checking if this is still in place or removing it and wrapping the lines with rubber tubbing or similar insulation.
