To all of you that had this issue. They are now fixing them free and will refund your cost if you fixed prior to them owning it. It is special policy 17336. (Google Chevrolet special policy 17336)  There is a form to claim reimbursement.

Here goes...There may be more to the condenser problems than we know...

 

I have a 2017 Tahoe (61,007 miles), in Wisconsin, where the AC condenser has just been diagnosed, at my local dealer, to have a leak...so, it needs to be replaced.  I informed the local dealer of a Special Coverage Adjustment I found online covering defective AC condenser for 2015-2017 Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/ etc up to 60,000 miles.  However, this Special Coverage Adjustment does not cover my 2017 Tahoe as it was built in July 2017.  The defective AC condensers, I have been told, were discontinued in the Tahoe build in October of 2016.  So, mine has the "new and improved" condenser.  I am the only owner of the car and have not needed to use the AC for months...so, there is no telling when it went out.

 

My dealer advised me that the cost to replace this condenser - because mine has the "new and improved" AC condenser and that I am out of warranty which expired at 36,000 miles - is going to be $450 plus the $85 for the diagnosis.  Now, this is not outrageous.  But, there has got to be a major design flaw and a potential for an additional class action.  

 

Is anyone out there having this same issue??

 

Kind regards,
