Wondering if anyone else has had to recharge their AC system. I have a 17 with 68,000 miles and had to recharge the system, no leaks were found. I also used to to own a 17 Forester and had to recharge it at 32,000 miles. Am I the only one having bad luck or has anyone else had any issues?

Hope your right, I just moved to Florida from NY. But they did use the fluorescent dye to search for leaks in both cars and could not find anything, and both cars are 2017, just seems odd. Ive owned 6 Subies and only my 2017's have had issues with the AC needing to be recharged.

Rarely used my AC in the winter. I know in my Forester it was extremely low on refrigerant. I had it recharged about a month ago in my Impreza, doesn't seem as cool as it was when first recharged and blowing cooler air on the passenger side. Seems to blow cooler on driver side when Im accelerating.

After about 2 months my A/C stopped working again, apparently I needed a new A/C condenser. Fortunately for me Im being reimbursed for the condenser by Subaru for being a loyal customer and complaining.
