A/c stops working

Twice in the last month my A/c has just not come on. 1st time drove about 2 miles and stopped for an hour came out and it started right up then yesterday stopped drove about ten minutes got out came back and it started right up. Has anyone had this happen to them. I have about one month left on warranty.

Sounds like it has lost some freon, if that's the case then you either a leak inthe system or the compressor has come apart inside allowing freon to escape. Take it to the dealer before the warranty runs out and have them check it.

I don't know as though that diagnosis is correct at all (especially based on the info given), but you need to get it into the dealer before the end of warranty so you can make a record of it happeneing under warranty so that if they can't find the problem and it fails in a couple months you have ammunition to get it repaired under warranty. Make sure you note that it is an intermittent problem to the service writer and that they get that in the file.

Could be a lot of things - loose connection, clutch gap, switch problem.... not enough info to go on yet.
