Driving conditions in Alabama
Long, humid summers keep air conditioning running for most of the year, and much of the state's driving is on rural two-lane highways far from a dealer.
Heat and humidity keep the air-conditioning compressor, condenser fan and blower motor running nearly year-round. Electrical connectors corrode faster in damp, salty air. Look for a plan tier that includes air conditioning and electrical components, since powertrain-only plans leave those out.
