2011 LC Leaking Freon

[ironmountain]

I’ve had two shops search an AC leak I have on my 2011 LC. Once topped off, it lasts about a week or less before it stops blowing cold air. Both shops couldn’t visibly see the leak after using due to inspect the system with.

The second shop even held the vehicle for 3 weeks, claimed they found the leak, and replaced some AC lines running thru the rear cargo area.
Well, a couple grand and two weeks later and the AC isn’t blowing cold again.

I’m desperate at this point. Any ideas on where it could be and also a shop in Southern California that is familiar with this issue?

Of course we have a road trip next week and grandma won’t be able to handle no AC.

The rear evap (likely lines to or simply just the o-rings) are often the cause. I had a leak; took time to find it and a competent mechanic to fix it. Seek out an AC shop; not a mechanic. Here is the thread on my and some others issue.

So I had a drip all week on the street where it sits parked. Went to inspect and the liquid looks like dye with no scent. It’s clearly dripping from here and I found it within a few minutes. What the heck man? Did no techs see this?!

Right?! Frustrating seeing how "professionals" operate these days.

gah, yeah…I don’t know. I’m really looking forward to what kind of story they’re going to pull. It’s just mind blowing on how they didn’t see this
