THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PULLEY BEARING SEIZED BUT WAS ABLE TO TURN LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO A NEARBY RELATIVE. THE DEALER SAID THE COMPRESSOR AND BELT WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE PART WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO GET AND ESTIMATED AT LEAST A WEEK OR MORE. HE SUPPLIED A LOANER AND SAID THE CAR WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE, AS THE PULLEY COULD SEIZE COMPLETELY AT ANY TIME. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. *TR
