A/C Compressor

[jvcalandra]

I drive a 2022 Equinox LT with approx 50k miles. Has anybody had any issues with their A/C compressor? Mine recently failed. I previously owned a 2012 Equinox LS that had just shy of 200k miles when I got rid of it, but never had any A/C problems. I thought it was odd that the compressor failed so soon. My mechanic said alot of parts are being made smaller and they're working 50% to 100% harder to achieve the same output. Just looking for opinions or insight.

 

[Hey Vern!]

It certainly should last more than 50,000 miles.

I know, I don't think I've ever had a car where the compressor failed on me. I'm well beyond the warranty period, but I'm still going to contact Chevrolet just to get it on record. It's not right that I have to put so much money into a car.

Now you got me worried, I just purchased a used 2022 LS Equinox that had 24,5000 Miles. Now I'm going to have to budget in a A/C check to make sure everything is working fine.

I'm hoping my situation is just an anomaly. Apart from this, the car is great. Good luck!

I've got a '17 Nox and the A/C hasn't worked right since I got it. It blows hot and cold during the summer. Heat during the winter no issues. It can blow cold for weeks at a time, then suddenly blow hot and the fan seems to go down a volume or two, stays hot for almost a minute, then blows out cold again.
Dealership can't diagnose the problem because it never acts up when it's in the shop, so I've been stuck with this issue for over 5 years and now it's out of warranty.
