Car AC Not Working on Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM? Visit Your Sallisaw Dealer Today

Do you own a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM vehicle? Is your car AC not working as well as it should be? You are not alone. There are many reasons why your car’s AC may stop blowing cold air during the summer months. Here are six signs that indicate you should bring your vehicle to your Chrysler dealer in Sallisaw, OK to have the car AC checked immediately:

1) You Are Only Able To Cool the Car Down When It Is in Motion

If you notice that the car has to be in motion for the AC to work, this is a sign your vehicle may need a recharge.

2) Odd Noises Are Coming From the AC Compressor

If you notice odd sounds coming from the vehicle’s AC compressor, such as grinding or squealing noises, this is a sign that your car needs to be checked out by your dealer in Sallisaw for further analysis. Even though these sounds may not be heard when the vehicle is in motion, this does not mean there is no damage to the car’s AC compressor.

3) You Notice Green Slime or Foam On or Around Your Car’s AC Compressor

If you notice green slime coming from your vehicle’s air conditioning system when it should be clean, this could be a sign that mold and bacteria are growing around the AC compressor. This is not something that can be easily taken care of. Your car will need to be checked by a professional for any damage to the AC compressor and other related parts before you notice further issues with your vehicle’s cooling system.

4) The Air Filtration System Is Not Working

If you notice an increase in allergies since the last time you turned on your AC, this could be a sign that mold and other particles are accumulating in the air filtration system. If this is the case, bring your car to your dealer in Sallisaw so it can be checked for damage.

5) You Notice Discoloration or Corrosion Around Your Car’s AC Condenser

If you notice discoloration or pitting on the car’s AC condenser, this is a sign that corrosion has started to build up in the part. If not cleaned and checked for damage immediately, your car will likely have problems with its cooling system until it is adequately taken care of.

6) You Hear a Whistling Sound When You Turn On the Car’s AC

If your car makes a whistling sound when you turn on the AC, this is a sign that there is an issue with the thermal expansion valve. If not correctly checked, this part could become corroded or damaged and cause more problems with your cooling system in the future.
