I had the same problem with my 2018 Chevy Tahoe and dealer said it would be around $1400 for the repair and its very common. NEVER BUYING CHEVY AGAIN ---

The same problem as Chris K of Victoria? Leaking a/c condenser? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/c/e/ce10170678c74cbc105d4172cc91c4b698aa7424.png) ---

Chevy problem? hmmm … I typed in “condenser leak” into the forum search box, upper right this page, the first 4 results were … nissan frontier, nissan murano , honda odyssey, honda accord … … I doubting this problem is unique to Chevy. To put things into perspective, I own a 50 year old Ford truck and a 30 year old Corolla, and before that a VW Rabbit, have never had a single AC compressor leak. Of course AC isn’t installed in any of them … lol … ---

It’s happening in the appliances too. They’re using thinner metal to be energy efficient but the heat exchangers commonly develop leaks in 10 to 20 years. ---

What problem? You didn’t say. You probably want to fix it because f you sell the Tahoe. Other value will be reduced by about what it cost to fix whatever is wrong. Then keep driving it or sell it if you prefer. ---

> [@TheWonderful90s](#): > > It’s happening in the appliances too. They’re using thinner metal to be energy efficient I purchased a new refrigerator a couple of years ago, concur, definitely seems to be more efficient than the old one. The new one is also considerably better at maintaining the proper temperature in both fridge & freezer compartments. Win/win, better temperature regulation & I save about 40 cents per day on my electricity bill. I guess the downside is, it may not last as long. It’s a compromise . ---

Unfortunate. It’s a $50k suv and shouldn’t have a $2k repair for ac. Would it be worse if it were a 17k civic? Or the same?
