I've got a 2003 Element. I'm not the original owner and I've had the car for about 2 1/2 years and the car has about 97k miles. I had the serpentine belt changes last week. I don't drive the car much, the wife does to work, but on a road trip this weekend I got to drive it. The AC worked fine at highway speeds but when I came to a stop the compressor cycled off. It started to blow out warm air and didn't cycle on unless I press the recirc button. Once i started down the highway it came on and blew out cold air. Ambient temperatures where 96F.
In the garage after letting the car sit overnight I started the car and turned on the AC. Within a minute the compressor cycled off. The garage interior was in the 80s.
Do you think it just needs a A/C service because it's low on freon?
I know the car is old but it seems everytime I take my car into my dealership within a sort time afterward something else breaks.
Thanks for any advice.
