Catastrophic GMC AC Problem Caused By Factory Defect on Condenser

[admin]

This problem was first discovered by finding aluminum deposits stuck in the Schrader valve in the low side port. Think of it as a canary in a coal mine.

For shame, GM, for shame.

GM strikes again.

[Nick 636n8r]

wonder if they fixed it with the 2016's?

Nice and concise

[Samuel Bane]

These are a known issue…there was a warranty for certain models…gm knows….smh

Man! I just had my condensor replaced @ same spot you pointed out, BTW I have a 2016 Chevy Tahoe w/ 91k miles.live in Texas… luckily my extended warranty coverage covered the $800 bill minus $100 for the deductible I had to pay. The mechanic didn't mention the other issues, I'm just wondering if the leak/problem started from somewhere else. I just had the repair done 2weeks ago and A/C is running fine. Just concerned that the issue just was the condensor and not the other stuff…… Great videos tho man! Kuddos to you and ur experience & knowledge and passing it all along in these in-depth vids!

I appreciate the way you explained the “domino effect”. Thanks, great video.

Not the same issue but potentially catastrophic…
The compressor on my 2000 Silverado completely siezed up to the point of smoking the belt. And this happened in January! Managed to get to a parking lot but that belt was close to ignition.

GM product, eh?

[Gavin6060]

I’ve done 4 of these condensers in the last month. However haven’t seen one with contamination. Good to know it’s possible

YOUR THE MAN BRIAN

[SATAMAN Schmidt]

And what exactly are you suppose to do about it? Does GM accept responsibility for this debacle and pay for it or is the customer screwed over and needs to buy a complete replacement AC system for several thousands of dollars.

did you mean to say accumulator and orifice tube or did gm actually change over to receiver/drier and expansion valve?

[Billy Yoder]

Thank you Brian. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week.

"Incredibly consistent manufacturing"

Well that's the most diplomatic way to describe GM that I've ever heard 🙂

[The adventures of Javier 86]

You are 100% on the pattern failure statement. Seen this many times. Some on suburban/tahoes with only 20k miles.
Shame😕
