I have a 2012 malibu less than 50k yesterday the ac started making noises like a car engine going out. The sound gets louder as you turn it up. Today it started making louder noises and the battery was dying out lights dimming the whole 9 while stopped at a light. Several people have said it is the compressor, I don't think that at this low mileage this should be happening. Any thoughts?

I recently put a new throttle body on my daughter's 2012 Chevy Malibu 4 cylinder. The problem was, it said with the code reader, that it needed a throttle body injector. I replaced with a brand new throttle body. Then the code reader said it was an accelerator position sensor so I replaced that. I can crank it up and it'll run for 2 or 3 seconds and go right back dead. Any help on this would very much be appreciated... Thank you
