    Hello,

    For starters I own a 2006 Saturn Vue with an I4 and about 184k miles roughly. About a month or so ago I noticed that the A/C wasn't blowing cold air like it should. I also noticed that if my vehicle is in motion, the A/C works fine but if I were to be at a red light it begins to blow warm/hot air. I got someone to look at it and the refilled the refrigerant in it but that barely helped. I assume there's something wrong internally.

    Questions:
    What's the problem?
    Will it be expensive?

    Thanks, FluffyOreoCX

    There are so many possibilities when dealing with AC, but my best guess would either be the compressor clutch is starting to go, or your condenser fan isn't working, assuming a Saturn Vue has one.

    The fan not working makes more sense, as you say it blows cold when you're moving, but not when your stationary, with the fan not working there is nothing to cool the condenser other than the air.
