AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC WANTED ME TO KNOW THAT THE A/C HOSE DISCHARGE LINE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. WHY BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO HOSES THAT FORM AN X, AND AT THE POINT WHERE THEY INTERSECT (THE METAL BANDS) ARE RUBBING TOGETHER FROM VIBRATION OF THE CAR. I DID ASK THE MECHANIC IF ANYTHING ELSE (E.G. CAR ACCIDENT, ROUGH ROADS) COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND HE SAID NO. I ALSO ASKED IF THE INTERSECTION OF THE HOSES COULD BE FIXED BY MOVING THEM SO THEY DON'T RUB TOGETHER AND HE SAID NO. IT REALLY IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
