Took my 2009 GMC Acadia it to the dealership in October 2016 for a timing chain bulletin and they called and said the ac had a small leak that would cost $249.16 to repair. We had it fixed. Now 6 months later ac leaking again. The dealer said that the repair was under warranty, but it would cost me $1900 minus the $249.16 to repair it. Service manager said it was because ac lines are bundled with power steering lines and they rub together and cause problems. It's a design flaw but nothing the automaker will correct.Needless to say I told them to shove it and I'll figure it out on my own. The dealership at first said because we had so many issues after we got the car back in October 2016 that they'd try to fix it for free, $1900 is not free. Please someone tell me if they had an issue like this.
