A/C CONDENSER FINS ARE DAMAGED AND FREON TUBING IS ABRADED IN A DOUGHNUT SHAPED PATTERN ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE CONDENSER. THE CONDENSER OUTSIDE THE CONDENSER FAN BLADE AREA ARE UNDAMAGED, AND THE RADIATOR IS UNDAMAGED. THE DAMAGED AREA IS FREE OF DEBRIS AND IS SHINY. WHEN THE CONDENSER TUBING WEARS THROUGH AND FREON ESCAPES, THE A/C WILL BECOME NONFUNCTIONAL. THIS WILL DECREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DEFROSTING CAPABILITIES IN HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS AND CREATE A LOW VISIBILITY HAZZARD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN FITTED WITH A MASK AND SCREEN FROM APRIL TO OCTOBER EACH YEAR TO KEEP INSECTS OUT OF THE CONDENSER AND RADIATOR. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO WEAR FROM ROAD DEBRIS. ANOTHER OWNER OF A SIMILAR VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM, AND HIS A/C ACTUALLY FAILED. GM DID NOT COVER HIS REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK
