This is so true. I got a good giggle going thru the 20 yrs of service records provided by the PO of my car. Starting with the very first warranty-covered service by the original purchaser of the car back in 1988, the AC complaints began. "AC does not blow cold" "AC does not cool" etc.

There are also many, many receipts (totalling probably $2k range) in there for various "improvements" to the air, none of which has resulted in much of any improvement at all in performance, if my drive from Houston to Tuscaloosa last July was any indication.

Now that my window tint is gone, I have a feeling I'll be in for some hhhhot summer driving - but I'm sure all it needs is a good charge, right???
