problem #1

AC compressor clutch went out in my car at 103,422 miles. AC was working fine all day while I had been driving, then all of a sudden quit blowing cold. After stopping to turn off my car, my engine was “rattling” a loud rattle that was heard from inside of the house! Compressor clutch had to be replaced. It's definitely annoying in the summer heat of the south.
