2016 Hyundai Accent 100,000+ miles. About a month ago, A/C started to blow cold air initially and then would quickly fade to only blow hot. Remember over past year, year and half, where had intermittent, rare occurrence, issue with A/C only blowing hot air for a short period of time. Specific incident happened when idling stuck in traffic on interstate. Took to mechanic and was told compressor is bad and system needs to be replaced at about $1000.00. The mechanic said something about high pressure on the low side and low pressure on the high side indicating compressor is bad. Like this mechanic and used for several years with reputable service. Could it possible be something else (cheaper) that is an issue? Maybe climate controls, fuse, etc. Is there a thermostat of sorts that could be faulty telling the A/C not to cool?
