I was on a road trip from CO to CA and my AC decided to fail as I was driving through Arizona during a heat wave. Not fun.

Although the radiator and the thermostat assembly has been replaced, the heater keeps blowing very hot air, followed by cold air. The car then overheats and blow off a gallon or so of fluid. This has repeated several times and the problem can't be located. Just can't trust the car.
