Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air conditioning is inoperative. We have had several problems with our a/c. The first complaint was a loud noise during operation. Dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. Our second trip to the dealership was regarding a foul odor from the a/c. Both of these issues hae technical service bulletins. The most recent trip to the dealership was on7/1/2003. The dealership fixed the foul odor smell, but on 8/25/2003 our a/c stopped functioning. On 3/25/2003 the vehicle had 22,000 miles. On 7/1/2003 the vehicle had 58,400 miles. As of 8/25/3003 our vehicle has 62,300 miles. Our vehicle came with the 60,000 warranty. I called the dealership yesterday to request a service visit and asked if the inoperative a/c was going to be covered under warranty and of course i received the "you are out of your warranty period" statement. There are currently two technical service bulletins indicating a problem with the inoperative a/c's for this vehicle. I contacted oldsmobile customer service to assist with having the a/c fixed under warranty. Palmen oldsmobile already denied warranty service regardless of technical bulletins and history of problems. Palmen oldsmobile will not fix under a goodwill warranty. I believe the a/c system on a new vehicle should last more than 2. 5 years. *ak
