Recognizing the "Gravity" of the situation with the Strait of Hormuz and ever-increasing gas prices, I finally took the plunge! The lease initiatives plus the California "first EV credit" made it a really sweet deal. Traded in my gas guzzler, and took delivery of Gravity Grand Touring today. This car drives like a spaceship!
Hey guys, I started getting the infamous "Darth Vader" noises from my 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited a few years back. This was just a month after when the vehicle was out of warranty, so my bad luck. At that time I toyed between re-charging it myself and taking it to a auto shop, and finally did take it to a local mechanic. He drained and recharged the refrigerant, did not find any leak (probably did not look enough), and it cost me just about $200. This worked well for a few months, but the hissing noises started coming back. Now, it's been about 1 year, I guess and not only are the noises back, but the AC is also not cooling well. Seriously there's something wrong with the Jeep's air conditioning and this needs to be looked into. Are there any recommended auto shops in the San Francisco East-Bay area that know how to look into this issue. I dont want to go to the dealers, as every one of them would charge ~$400 to just start looking into it.
Also, why isnt there a class action lawsuit against Stellantis already for this! Surely I am not the only one facing this problem!
