You have a leak. Good luck finding it! I have a car (not Alero) that has a A/C leak that I can't find (I'm guessing compressor shaft seal). The r134a leaks out in 3 days, but the car is 17 and has over 200K miles on it.

Fair enough, but if there's already an existing pressure sensor system, why not communicate to the driver that there's an issue. They could have even made it so basic so that when the user presses the A/C button, just make the A/C indication LED not illuminate to indicate an issue. That LED illuminating when the A/C button is pressed, indicates to me that all A/C systems are OK and it should be blowing cold air. That's all I'm saying.

I'm assuming the dealer just added refrigerant without using any sealer so hopefully after using some RedTek ProSeal, it'll be fine. As I said before, it worked for a whole week after being recharged so I'm hoping the leak is very small and can be repaired with the ProSeal.
