A/C Blowing HOT and Cold at the Same Time!

I took my '98 Corvette into a Chevy dealer for the following repairs:
Replaced the Headlamp Actuator...  Found internal short on BCM (warranty
company denied claim)...  Found brake fluid present @ EBCM and BPMV Replaced
both modules. Manually bled and power bled BPMV...  Found underhood
connector corroded - Repaired circuit and removed connector...  Splice SL
8.695 Parts...  Changed Oil.

When they returned the car to me the A/C was blowing HOT (much hotter than
outside temperature) out of the center and driver's side vents, and nice and
cold out of the passenger side vents. The technitian claimed he didn't touch
anything A/C related, but admitted the A/C worked fine the day before when
he test drove it.

I remember the same thing happened at another Chevy dealer when they
installed a starter. The service writer took it to the back and within five
minutes brought it back working fine. He said the A/C just needed to be
"reset." Unfortunately this tech didn't have a clue what to do. Anybody have
any idea what could be the fix for this?

Thank you,

Steve

You're a goddamned jerk ... AND a f.cking SPAMMER.  What do you have to
say about that, "Steve".  You a.shole.  I'm tired of your stupid problem
with your stupid car that has no relevance to our group or our topics.
What an anally retentive pig.

RE: Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet, Pompano Beach, Florida  -  I took my '98
Corvette to the Lou Bachrodt Chevy dealer in Pompano Beach Florida on
7/19/04. I used my extended warranty to pay for the repairs (antilock
warning on, headlight won't open). The Warranty Company
(1SourceAutoWarranty.com) didn't pay them as much as they thought they
should get so I had to pay $178 out of pocket to get them to do the work.
Service writer Robert Farkas called telling me I needed new brake fluid and
it would be $89. I told them no. Turns out they had to flush the system to
fix the anti-lock module and charged the Warranty Company for the fluid
already. Next I come to pick the car up. A/C is blowing hot. The technician
says it was blowing cold the day before when he test drove it. So they take
it back to look at it again. I call three hours later and the service
writer, Robert Farkas, tells me the battery is bad and it will be $189,
"that's probably why the A/C isn't working right." He said the car now
wouldn't start and needed a jump. I had him transfer me to the service
manager Mike Byrne. The manager told me he's not responsible for A/C going
bad. He said, "If your car was hit by lightning while in the shop would I be
responsible?" Being that it was Friday evening it turns out the technicians
left and never did look at the car and I would have to leave it there till
Monday. On top of that they wanted me to authorize another diagnosis and
repair order. Being that they had my car for 5 days just to fix the light
and traction control, I came back to pick up my car for the weekend. The car
started right up so I drove it straight to Sears to have the battery
checked. Sears found that the battery was perfect and gave me readout of the
results. But like I said the A/C is now blowing hot out of one side, cold
out the other and the dealership will not put it right without charging me
for more repairs. Frankly I'm afraid to bring my car back there after their
dishonest dealings. I will also be reporting this to local Consumer
Reporters (Help Me Howard...), the FTC, Attorney General's Office and
Chevrolet's District Manager and GM.

I enjoy Mike's well deserved profanity much, much more than I do your
abject stupidity and inane piousness, fuckwit.

I always try to use it only in an artistically invigorating, culturally
enriching manner.  You'll hear no cussing before it's time from me.
