Consumer Description

ABOUT 2 YRS AGO DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITION ON MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE WAS NOT COOLING. SITTING STILL YOU WILL THINK YOU HAVE ON THE HEAT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT MUCH WARMER THAT THAN THE DRIVER SIDE. COOLS OK IN THE MORNINGS WHEN IT IS NOT SO HOT BUT LATER IN THE DAY YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT THE AIR. I HAVE HAD THE FREON CHECK MORE THAN ONCE WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT LOW. THIS YEAR IT WORST THAN EVER. BEFORE IT WOULD START TO COOL ABOUT 20 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. NOT NOW! I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC ALSO THE THE MOTOR BRACK IS BROKEN. WHAT IS NEXT. I ALSO HAD THE LUNGING PROBLEM THAT WAS FIXED, ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. A CAR THAT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD SURE HAS HAD LOT OF PROBLEMS. *TR
