A/C Repair Service for Your Dodge Durango

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Dodge Durango A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 Dodge Durango A/C systems. Steer your Dodge Durango to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2012 Dodge Durango A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Dodge Durango A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Durango

Let's say we repair your 2012 Dodge Durango A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Dodge’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2012 Dodge Durango A/C recharges.

Common Dodge Durango A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Dodge Durango A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2012 Dodge Durango? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Durango’s A/C!

Questions About 2012 Dodge Durango A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Durango air conditioning colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Durango A/C blowing hot air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Durango's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Durango use gasoline? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Durango.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Durango smells like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Durango creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Durango’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Durango’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I get my Durango’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Durango air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
