| Air Conditioner problems |
1999 Ford Mustang a/c stop working rebuild compression the consumer stated the air conditioner stopped working. The dealer replaced it with a re-built compressor and charged the consumer $529. 17. One year later, the ac stopped working again and the dealer replaced it with another re-built compressor, but the consumer was not charged. Three months later, the ac compressor failed again and they installed another re-built ac compressor and the consumer was charged $ 454. 77.
The first problem I had was when I turned the air conditioning unit on water started leaking on my foot, then I took it to the dealership(under Ford warranty at the time) and they said some "plastic part was missing" a couple of months later it did the same thing. Then all of sudden I was driving the car and and it jumps from drive to another gear. Then I go through a car was and water comes in my car and the dealership "readjusted the top" and stated everything would be okay. Months later I hear a ticking sound when its in park and a ticking sound and " I was told it could be an exhaust leak". Next it rains and water started coming in again. The final draw was 12-21-00 and the fuel gauge started moving back and forth and the light comes on saying "low fuel" and the car isn't empty. I can't get the dealerships here to answer the phone and Ford won't help because "I didn't buy their warranty" when in fact the dealership told me to buy some extended warranty which has proven to be useless.
