Was looking at the latest Consumer Reports Reliability Ratings. Seems like the "Climate System" aka AC Evaporator Defect has been fixed sometime in 2017. Red in 2015, 2016, Orange in 2017 and green in 2018 and 2019. Seems like good news but I wonder if my 2017 has the old parts or the new parts!!!

Impressive that nothing is below average on the 2019's. Maybe too early still.

It's probably too early to tell for sure on the 18+ cars, but for 2018 I think the evaporator was changed (or at least given a new part no.) because the 18+ cars changed the type of refrigerant used. Hopefully that change will make it more durable.

I believe the a/c issue was corrected by the 2nd half of the 2017 model year production cycle. I have a gt pp built in March 2017 and have no issues.
