A little bit of Dodge service can make all the difference when it comes to the health and longevity of your vehicle. Dodge service is especially important in extreme temperatures, like the heat of summer, when we rely on our air conditioners to keep passengers and powertrains cool. Learn about common air conditioning issues and get the summer service you need at Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview.
The Air Isn’t Cool
If you notice that your air conditioning unit is pushing out warm or hot air into the vehicle, you’ll want to get summer service as soon as possible. If the air is flowing, but it isn’t cooling, that’s likely the result of a refrigerant leak. Your air conditioning system is a closed circuit, so there should be no loss of refrigerant, which is why you’ll want to get your vehicle inspected for an AC leak. If the air is slightly cool but not cold, that likely means your levels are low.
There is No Air Flow
You also want to pay attention when your vehicle produces no air at all. This could indicate a more serious and complex issue below the surface. Check for signs of blown fuses, blocked air intakes, or damaged hoses or belts.
Your Vehicle Smells Wet or Moldy
When there is excess moisture in your air conditioning unit, it can lead to the development of fungi, bacteria, and mold. This makes the inside of your vehicle smell bad and can affect the quality of the air. It typically occurs when the vehicle’s air conditioning is run irregularly or when it is run at the maximum capacity and produces more moisture. Start to address issues of mildew by changing the air filter.
