Thanks all!
I love this forum, ask a question, get some answers. Even if you don't like them.
Kevin, I will give you a call.
In early may, when we had the cars' annual state inspection we had Midas recharge the A/C. We noticed that it seemed to help, but still wasn't as cold as usual and is getting warmer. We then took it to Jeep, and they discovered the leak and the "junk" in the evaporator.
BostonWhaler, you are right on the money with the estimate.. over $1,000 w/ a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty.
As going without the A/C is not an option, I think I'll try to find someone to do the sealant method, before giving in to the "big bill".
Thanks again.
