Summer driving can be extremely uncomfortable without air conditioning. The problem with air conditioning in a car is that once it stops working, it can be very expensive to fix. Learning the problematic signs of a poorly working air conditioning unit can save you from costly repair fees and from an uncomfortable drive.
Air Conditioning That Does Not Get Cold
Your car’s air conditioning should be cold enough to cool you down. If it is blowing air that is not cold, it could indicate a problem with the cooling unit. A few causes of warm air can include a Freon leak, a clogged tube, or a failed blower. There could also be a leak in the air conditioning hose.
