AIR FROM AIR CONDITIONER NOT COOL. NOTICED AIR CONDITIONER NOT COOLING AS WELL IN FALL OF 1999. SINCE WINTER WAS NEAR I DID NOT USE IT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SPRING. FIRST TIME IN THE SHOP NO LEAK FOUND BUT NO COOLANT IN THE SYSTEM. COOLANT REPLACED AND WORKED FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS. THEN SAME PROBLEM. IN SHOP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW COMPRESSOR. SAID IT WAS LEAKING AROUND CASE OF COMPRESSOR. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ($1000). I ASKED GM TO HELP ME OUT WITH IT BECAUSE I FELT AN AIRCONDITIONER SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 4 YEARS.
