Different AC issue

Ok so i bought my 08 aveo hatch about 3-4 months ago it only has 55k miles on it now. About a month ago the number 2 fan setting on the AC control panel decided it wanted to crap out and not work at all. About a week later the ac decided that it wanted to shut off at random times. I have been trying to pay as much attention to when this happens to figure something out. I noticed that the ac cuts off when i come to a stop. and in order to keep it on when i am driving, as soon as i come to the stop i have to hit the ac button then turn off the fan, as soon as i start up again i have to turn the fan on 1, then hit the AC button. the one dealership that i have near me has been dicking me around since day one on this (service department, sales was great) they are telling me its not covered and i have to pay 120 which is their base service charge just for them to look at it. My question to all of you is could my issue be with the AC control panel, if so i can get one new for less than 100 and put it in my self no problem. or has anybody noticed this issue in their own car.

sounds to me like its a bit more than that.

another thing that makes this situation priceless is that the dealerships service guys said that my ac issues arnt covered under my warrenty and that i dont have one... i just came across my window sales ticket thing the other day and not only does it clearly state the 5 year 100000 mile warrenty it also says on the back that AC IS COVERED. yeaaaaa fun times about to come at that dealer.

the warranty is a joke, 95% of the car is only under warranty for the 36k/3 years, well on my 07 5 it is (not sure if there were any changes with the newer model years).
