The AC stopped working on a day when the temperature was in the 90s.
The diagnosis was that there are leaks in both ac lines to/from the rear AC unit.
In order to replace them I was told the body of the vehicle has to be removed from the frame.
The rear AC will be disconnected due to the risk of creating other issues. I will be operating with only the front ac working. This is very sad because I always wanted to restore the vehicle to original condition. However the estimate to repair is about $3000 on an eleven year old Yukon.
Considering the potential for damage I will not br pursuing this solution.
This is a huge design failure. Replacing an AC line should not require a frame-off restoration.
I now have serious reservations about purchasing another GM product.
My concern is now what to do with my modern automobile with an AC system that cannot keep up on a hot day.
One of the reasons that I bought this was to take the family on our annual trip south to the beach.
Maybe I can sell it to someone in Canada or Alaska...
