wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble as me i have a 2008 grand caravan 3.3L. it has gone through 3 A/C compressors in the last two years. all 3 times they where new compressors, A/C shop did full flush on the system. replaced both evap valves, ac particular filter. The last time the front blew ice cold but the rear ac wasn't very cold at all then a month ago the compressor seized and was stalling the engine so i had to unplug it because defrost uses A/C also. This is the 3rd time now and getting frustrated spending all this money to have it work 5 months at a time. Any suggestions would be much appreciated i really don't get what could be causing them to fail.

 

Are they OEM Mopar A/C compressor?
Sometimes multiple failure are due to cheap crappy parts.

 

Yes oem mopar compressor.

 

I would just drop another Compressor in under warranty, and hopefully you finally get a good compressor.
Other than lack of Oil, I can't think of anything else causing multiple compressor failure other than crappy parts since your shop alrdy flushed the system, replaced the filter and expansion valves.

And I've had a couple of experience of going thru 2 or 3 bad part before I get a good one.

 

Any idea if their shops are using refurbs? That might explain it.

 

Most likely the case, because it is cheaper. Even Mopar sells re-man compressor. And they are not always good.

The worst case I've had was the 4th re-man PCM fixed the car from Mopar.
