A/C Repair Service for Your Dodge Intrepid

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 lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Dodge Intrepid A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Dodge vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2001 Dodge Intrepid A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Dodge Intrepid

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2001 Dodge Intrepid 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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Dodge Intrepid A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Intrepid

While your 2001 Dodge Intrepid’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Dodge's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2001 Dodge Intrepid A/C recharges.

Other Dodge Intrepid A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Dodge Intrepid A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2001 Dodge Intrepid? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Intrepid.

Questions About 2001 Dodge Intrepid A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Intrepid air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What’s making my Intrepid A/C put out warm 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 Intrepid's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Intrepid use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Intrepid does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • My Intrepid’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Intrepid 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.
  • What is causing my Intrepid’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Intrepid’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
