Consumer Description

I HAVE A FORD FREESTYLE 2005 THAT HAS AN A/C ISSUE. AS I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS. IT DOESN'T STAY COOL WHEN THE CAR IDLES. NEITHER DOES IT COOL THE CAR DOWN IN THE 90-100 DEGREE WEATHER. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WOULD COST $1100 TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR. HE SAID THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HAVE TO GET THE COMPRESSOR FROM FORD AND THEY HAVE A HUGE BACK LOG OF ORDERS AND THEY WEREN'T SURE WHEN HE COULD GET IT. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. ONLINE THERE ARE MANY, MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE. FORD SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND OFFER SOME KIND OF REIMBURSEMENT TO THOSE OF US WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE. *KB
