I just left the car at the dealership and left with a rental because of the following.

1. A/C started blowing nothing but straight hot air, compressor cycling constantly. The car bogged down majorly with the A/C on all of a sudden, and was fine when I turned it completely off. I have the updated amp already in the car. My thoughts are the that it is low on freon or the compressor is dying. I doubt that condensor has a hole in it because I think I would notice the sound of a rock hitting it. Any thoughts?

2. Recall work needed to be done.

3. Brake shudder. When applying the brakes the whole car feels like it is pulsating when slowing down. The steering wheel feels normal, no pulsating in it. Any thoughts?

How many miles?

The A/C sounds like the compressor is bad putting extra friction on the belt causing the car to bog more while its engaged.

Brakes sound like warped rotors.

1. 21k miles, and the A?C issues just started today, roughly 85-90 degrees out which is cooler than what it was a couple weeks ago. The car definantly bogged down more than normal, almost like it did not want to rev, but once I cut the A/C off the car was normal.

3. I would think that they would replace rotors under warranty if that is the cause, they are not wear items in my eyes, the wear items are the brake pads.

Just an update:

1. Low side flex hose was leaking, pretty sure they are ordering one for it.

2. Done

3. Rotors were warped slightly, the machined them. Won't it just happen again after being machined?

I have the brake shudder myself - so far, all I've gotten from dealer is "cannot duplicate".

Were your rotors machined under warranty? I'm already out 1K for a clutch that was rattling - don't want to add to the pain.
