The AC blew up

[WESHOOT2]

My first brandie-new car was a '74 Mazda RX4 wagon.
I bought a new '90 323 when living in DC just for commuting.

And I see a few getting traded in here.......




To rephrase: "The vast majority of Mazdas get flimsy with age."

I had a '00 Jette 2.0. I agree with the horrible plastics. Our Kizzy has 45k on it and I still insist it is the best mid sized sedan I've ever driven. Tight, controlled, comfortable, predictable. I've owned a great many cars in my life. Mid-sized sedans by Buick, Ford, VW, Nissan, Chevy, and Mazda simply don't compare. I'm at a loss what to replace our family stable with (we own 2 Suzukis) once we wear them out....

Hawaii still gets them from Japan if you want to go that far to get one shipped to you.

Ok well I got the Kizashi back after they replaced the compressor but it DOES NOT cool the car down nearly as quickly as it used to. I took it to two different outside mechanics and they said when the old compressor blew, it shot debris throughout the entire system and that its clogged.

Suzuki (dealer) is saying "its cool enough" and that basically its good enough, but you will sweat your butt off!!! The air comes out "cool" but not "cold" like it used to. This is so frustrating, the two outside mechanics have both said something is wrong, and they most likely don't want to do anything else because it will probably have to consist of replacing virtually all of the AC system.

Get something in writing from the two mechanics and present it to your Suzuki dealer. If they refuse to fix it then take it further up the "food chain".

Nothing wrong with AC for me. But if you are not satisfied with the result, bring this to the attention of higher up ppl. Log a complain or something

Maybe they'd let you bring in an instant read thermometer and show what temp the AC is blowing, then compare to another Kiz on the lot.
