While I was driving in town hwy the A/C system quick working , smoking coming from the hood and I totally lost the power steering on the car.. Finally after pulling over on a safe place on the side of the hwy I realized the A/C compressor locked and the clutch fell off and the serpentine belt for the steering was broken as well.. What a mess and dangerous situation.. Now de dealer says my car A/C compressor repair isn't covered under the warranty with only 39000 miles on it..
