There is documented history of air conditioning issues on C8's, do a Google search on "c8 corvette air conditioning problems"

Critical much? He's just asking a question.

Yes, there have been a few posts on here. I do recall seeing a pic of a compressor with a hole in it on a brand new car.

I have an intermittent problem where the HVAC system cuts out and will only blow ambient air. At the same time, the frunk won’t open, except with the manual pull. The dealer has had it 3 times, and hasn’t resolved the problem. Last time there, everything worked, so they could not diagnose.

In 22 I rented a 2021 SR coupe (vetteless and needing a corvette to go to carlisle with) and the owner told me that he went through 2 AC compressors already when I asked if he had any issues as I was waiting for the Z06 to come out. Weird. That car had maybe 15k on it? It was a turo car.

Ya! Mine crapped out last week. It'll only blow warm air. In the shop as I post. Hope it's just a refrigerant top off. Wish me luck.

Mine went out at 6k miles. Took it in and they had to replace the compressor/belt. It's been working great since.

I have had similar issue in high heat where the AC slows way down and changes dampers to act like heater. Lowering temp or invoking manual control doesn't change it. The upside is I have a work around. Either restart car or turn climate control totally off for about 30 sec and turn back on. At BG last year I talked to a couple of engineers and they told me make sure to take it in to the dealer. While they knew they may not see the problem there are embedded error codes and 8t needs to get reported if we expect a fix. I took it in and they did not have a fix or see the problem, they noted 2 other owners reported the issue at their dealer alone. The other key is if you have the problem post warranty the only chance you have for no cost fix is having reported it during warranty period.

it happened to me again a week ago, but my workaround corrected it. At my n3xt oil change I will report it again.

Puke on them...

Reminds me of a joke....

Guy at a bar is so drunk that he pukes on himself.

He says slurring his words, "Oh geez, Oh man, I'm in so much trouble, My wife. My wife told me, Oh Oh, she said if it ever puked on myself again, Oh man.. Ooooh, What I am gonna? I'm in so much, Ooh"

Another guy at the bar says to him "Hey, do this. Put a $20 bill in your back pocket. Tell her some other guy stumbled into you, puked on ya and even gave you $20 to clean you suit"..

"Good idea.. I'll do it" So he puts a $20 bill in his pocket and heads for home.

When he opens the door his wife greets him and lays into him, cursing him out up one side and down the other but he says
"Hey, wait, it wasn't me it was some other guy who stumbled into me and puked. He even gave to $20 to clean my clothes"
She says "Ok if he gave you $20 lets see it" and reaches into his pants. She pulls out out $40!
She says "Hey I thought you said he gave you $20. There's $40 here" .. a
And he says.. "Oh yeah, he sh*t in my pants too".
