My Avy is a late 2012...didn't buy it new off the dealer lot until July 2013, so I've only been driving it 2 years. I noticed on occasion that it would stop blowing cold air for a minute or so and then it would start back up. Thought to myself that maybe it has a freon leak or something.
Suddenly I get in the car last week and it is blowing nothing but hot air. This is bad when you're driving in August heat around here. I swung by my local car repair and they said it was the wiring going to the coil on the front of the compressor. When they started moving the wiring harness around the compressor came on and it started blowing cold air. They tried to secure the wiring and said if it goes out again I would need a new compressor.
I've had no trouble with this car until now, but I wouldn't expect to have this problem this quickly. Has anyone else had a similar problem? The mechanic said this was a common problem
