Can I make my Compass 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 Compass 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.

What causes A/C system leaks?

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 Compass's A/C system.

Does running the A/C in my Compass 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 Compass.

My Compass’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Compass to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my Compass’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Compass’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Jeep Compass A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jeep Compass A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Jeep vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2010 Jeep. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Jeep Compass

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2010 Jeep Compass’s 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Jeep Compass A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Compass A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2010 Jeep Compass 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 use Jeep’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 2010 Jeep Compass A/C recharges.

Other Jeep Compass A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Jeep Compass A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm 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 2010 Jeep Compass? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Compass — without all the sweat puddles!
