The requirement to recharge varies as does the types of leaks. Yours being
only 3 years old should be using R134A refrigerant. That shouldn't be an
expensive recharge. What may be expensive will be the reason why you have
to recharge. If it isn't apparent they will put in a dye with the recharge
and will recheck it to determine where the leaks coming from. It may not be
a leak, though. It could be a bad AC compressor. If so, hope that the
extended warranty covers it because that's a $1,000 job.

Subject: DML: A/C Recharge???
DMLers,
After purchasing your new vehicles how soon did
anyone, if at all, have to recharge their AC??? I have
had mine about 3 years and hadnt doen it yet but last
summer it was fine now as we are about to enter
another hot one, it doesn't even blow cool air!!! I
need a recharge and leak check. Is it a warranty or
extended warranty item if it is leaking due to
defect?? It can't be a wear item cause those parts are
supposed to last!
Whats the latest state of the whole freon non-freon
charging and licensing and supply rules?
Alberto
