For the past 3 years I have had to have the airconditioner recharged with freon. Our mechanic can not find the leak and believes it to be in the evaporater which is a very expensive and time consuming job to get at. I think it should be coated with a corrosive resistant material at the factory. The dealer here in our town says he has a whole boxfull of defective evaporators, which leads me to believe it should be recalled or the warranty extended.
