    I have good news with our AC, its being replaced under warranty and not only AC but the refrigerator too. When I took the AC in to be checked out I mentioned the refrigerator did not seem to be working properly, I was recommended to have it checked too since the warranty would be over in November. Thankful I listened to the good advice because the refrigerator was leaking ammonia. Within the past 12 months the axle which included the tires ,wheels with brakes were all replaced and now AC and refrigerator. It's almost like having a new camper even though it is a 2012.

Ouch, and good that it was all caught under the warranty.  You do NOT want to replace either of those things on your own.  You'll be good to go for another 100,000 miles.

   What surprised me is they replaced them instead of repairing. Must be the cost of labor and parts in that it was less money to replace.

I think in a lot of cases it is cheaper to ship the whole thing back and repair it at the factory.  I had a transmission with a bad solenoid on my prior minivan, replaced under warranty.  They replaced the whole thing.
