When the air conditioning is broken on a car, truck, SUV or RV, it is considered a major component of the vehicle. A malfunctioning air conditioner is no small problem on a vehicle, because the air conditioner does more than just cool down the car on a hot summer’s day. The air conditioner compressor can be used by more than one system in a vehicle. Therefore, if there is a leak or defect in the air conditioning system, it can detrimentally affect the vehicle engine by leaking fluid or coolant on the engine, causing a fire, or contaminating other components in the engine that can create a dangerous situation for the driver of the vehicle in that case.

Manufacturers of All Models Can Have Broken Air Conditioning on the Vehicle
Air conditioners work in a vehicle to manage the interior cabin temperature of the car, truck, SUV or RV. The air conditioner works with the cabin filters, to remove all dusts, pollens and hazardous dirt particles from the air of the vehicle, before it is allowed to flow naturally into the cabin. The air conditioner therefore cleans and cools the air, allowing the driver and passengers to ride in complete comfort during their car ride.
Many people don’t realize this, but the air conditioner works alongside of the cooling system for the engine. We need to put on our top-rated certified mechanic’s hat for this one. If the engine on a vehicle is not cooled properly, it can overheat and actually catch on fire. Either way, if the engine is not cooled when it needs to be, it can seize up, stall out or just stop working during the time the driver is out on the open roads.
Common Defects on Lemon Cars with Broken Air Conditioning
The air conditioner in a vehicle works with the engine coolants. This helps to cool down the car and the engine with the use of coolant chemicals, to help the air conditioner to function properly. The air conditioner uses refrigerant and managed cooling circuits that control the climate in the cabin, keep the windows from fogging up, no matter what the weather is outside the vehicle. The air conditioner uses many different parts to achieve this important and constant state of equilibrium, such as the:
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Accumulator
- Orifice tube
- Thermal expansion valve
- Evaporator
These air conditioner system components all work together to ensure that the cabin stays at a comfortable temperature for the driver and passengers of the vehicle. If the air conditioner is broken or defective then there will be issues, and it can create an unsafe environment for driving the vehicle.
What Does the Air Conditioner Do in a Vehicle?
The air conditioner performs many duties in a vehicle, including to help the vehicle:
- Maintain constant cabin temperatures
- Cooling the air on a hot day
- Monitor the amount of pressure of the air conditioner in the vehicle
- Send the refrigerant to the evaporator to cool the vehicle
- Separates gas from liquid for the operation of the compressor
- Use filters to prevent contaminants from getting into the cabin
Remember that the air conditioner in a vehicle removes any hot air, moisture or contaminants from the air to cool the air in the cabin. Your vehicle may have one of three air conditioner systems, including:
- Orifice tubes
- Expansion valves
- Combination of both systems
If the air conditioner in a vehicle is defective, it will be difficult to drive the vehicle safely. For this reason, if your air conditioner does not work from a manufacturer’s defect, you need to call us at the Guardian Lemon Law Group at 888.341.8537 today.
Recent Victories for Consumers with Lemon Vehicle Claims
Hyundai class actions for a defective anti-lock braking system are going forward. The 2020 lawsuit noted that the defect in the braking system caused engine fires. The charge to the engine continued on an electrical current, even if the car or truck was in the “off” position. This was scary for owners, who turned off their vehicles, but they still caught on fire because of the defective short circuit in the braking system.
For these reasons, Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Corporation and other affiliated companies have been forced to offer consumers extended warranties, free inspections and payouts on the defective vehicles. Car manufacturers are going to have to become more responsible for the lemon cars that they produce going forward, if they want to maintain the trust of the buying public in the future.
