Hi, I have 2 camaros a 1996 v6 coupe and a 2000 v8 ss convertible. Both have ac problems. The 96 is a major mystery. We've had it recharged and taken it to several shops over a 6 year period. We usually have it recharged a couple times each summer and both times the ac only works for a few days. Or 2-3 weeks and then it goes out. The 96 belongs to my daughter and I've never heard or seen exactly what the car does when the ac fails but she explains it to me like this. We have it working fully, cold, blowing strongly and it seems to be working like a new car and then all of a sudden you will hear a loud noise like it just blew all the freon or blew up. The air then goes warm and will not do anything but blow hot air so once again we take it to the shop and explain all this to them , they recharge it and we go on our way again for a few days and the same cycle happens all over again. We've had several different people recharge it and we've even had a (couple) of new compressors put on it along with all new parts. Can anyone help ??? thank you
