3 Air Conditioner problem of the 2010 Ford Focus

Failure Date: 09/07/2015

Air conditioner failing to cool. My car has 33,000 miles on it. I bought it new in oct 2009. I am told it will be about $1,600 or more to repair the ac. This is not acceptable on a car with 33,000 miles on it. I am told the dash, steering column and console have to be removed to repair. I bought this car to last me the rest of my life. The factory warranty is for 36,000 which obviously I am under but it is five years old. I can't afford to fix it on my ss disability income and can't live in texas without ac.
