Actually yes, AC compressor failure is a common problem on 04-05 models.

It's already hit 100 this spring in San Antonio and we're about a half foot shy of our normal rainfall. At any rate, my a/c works OK, but doesn't get as cold as some of the other cars/trucks I've had. Also, when the a/c is on, all the pops and gurgles from the Stage 1 and the BOV disappear.......
