A/C Service for Chevrolet Traverse

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Chevrolet Traverse A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2012 Chevrolet A/C systems. Bring your Chevrolet Traverse to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Chevrolet Traverse A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Traverse A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2012 Chevrolet Traverse A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Chevrolet guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2012 Chevrolet Traverse A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Traverse A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Chevrolet Traverse A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Traverse.

Questions About 2012 Chevrolet Traverse A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Traverse air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Traverse A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Traverse’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Traverse A/C run on gas? Traverse air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Traverse to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Traverse smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Traverse’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Traverse may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
