I live in Syracuse, NY. I bought my 2006 Impreza in June from Bill Kolb Subaru in Orangeburg, NY. The dealership covered the cost of repairs of the first immediate problems I encountered (by a nearby dealership, Romano Subaru). When I turned on the ac recently, I got nothing but hot/warm air. Pep Boys diagnosed this as a compressor problem after attempting to charge it and replacing the O rings. They estimate a $1,200 to $1,500 repair. I would probably have his done at the nearby dealership. Is this a common problem? Is this something I should have expected to pay on a new (to me) car when I only used the ac for two months?
