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.
