4 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2001

I am presenting two problems: first concerns the SUV handling: the vehicle feels like it is going to tip over as we make sharp curves at posted speeds. I have made Ford aware of this as a "rider" issue for another problem- the climate control system. It doesn't provide median temperatures. It provides only extremely cold or extremely hot service. I have an active complaint in to the Ford and have tried on several occassions to have it repaired by the dealer to no avail. I have a lingering concern about feeling that the SUV is going to tip over and the ultimate safety of the vehicle (although this has not occurred).
