Bought my car almost 6mo ago. (The dead of cold for this area) and I didn't even THINK to check the AC when I did so. When warmer months came, I realized that the AC didn't work. No biggie, I thought, just get it charged.
I took it to a local shop, (very reputable) and let them take a look at it. The tech said that there was not any trace of freon in the system, that I must have a major leak. He charged and dye tested it and it held a charge with no leaks for 3 hours. Great!
Now my problem is this: The Compressor randomly kicks off never to be heard from again. I'll start the car, turn on the air (or the air is already on) and the compressor turns for about three or four blocks, then will turn off. At this point you can turn the air on and off, basically turn every knob on the system and nothing will bring it back. IF, however, you pull the car over, turn off the key and wait about 10sec, then turn it back on, the compressor will run just fine.
The lengths of time here are random, although the first time it happens it's almost imediately...
I'm going to take the car back and ask them to fix it, because they claimed that it ran fine for 3 hrs no problem, which has not happened to me yet. The longest I've gotten it to run is about 10 minutes.
Please help!
