Are the AC compressors in Changan Kalam prone to early failure in Pakistans hot and dusty climate?

A malfunctioning compressor can stop the AC from cooling. Is compressor durability an issue in local road and weather conditions?

Yes, compressor failure is increasingly reported by users due to:

Overheating from high ambient temperatures and poor airflow.

Low-quality compressor oil o r poor gas quality affecting internal lubrication.

Dust and debris causing stress on the clutch and bearings.

Power surges o r low voltage due to weak alternators/batteries can also damage the compressor.

In some cases, the compressor fails within 2–3 years if not maintained properly.
