03/12/08 - auto temperature control does not work. A/c does not work and blows constant hot air. Car has been serviced twice by Ford dealerships who admit this is a common problem yet Ford has not reacted. Interestingly the a/c works for about 6 months after dealership diagnostics then goes hot. My guess it is an electronic component which, when moved / manipulated, makes connection for a short period of time. To repair the a/c, basically completely replacing the system, is $2500.

Re:previous repair ted russell invoice # f1cs560238 dated: 1/19/2007 malfunctions that started February 28, 2007 are same as previously stated in referenced invoice as follows: 1) climate control blows hot air while on fresh air and ac 2) coolant light comes on; this usually happens with the malfunction of the ac control system referenced above. I can stop the car, turn everything off and in 15 seconds restart and light goes off. The coolant light will stay off as long as I keep the climate control off however; when driving for a distance (I. E. 30 miles) and then multiple start / stops in traffic the light will come on if I am running the climate control. Until the recent malfunction of the climate control Wednesday night (2/28/07) this coolant light has not come on since last repair to climate control. For information, the conditions outside were approximately 66 f. Obviously I am upset with the continued problems I am having after this vehicle spent one week in your shop for previous repairs for the same malfunctions. Additionally, I am extremely dissatisfied with the recommended repairs made by ted russell qualified professionals as discussed with you during my phone conversation yesterday.

I'd like to report that the temperature control unit for my 2001 Mercury Sable is not functioning properly. In addition to the a/c not functioning in warm weather, the moisture is not removed from the windshield in cooler weather, causing a safety hazard from the windshield fogging. The tempature control unit only blows very hot air, no matter which tempature is selected. The vehicle has been in for repair four times; the last time was on 10/14/02, but no work was performed becuase the TSB has not been issued. I was informed by the dealership on 9/13/02 that this is a known problem and that Ford is working on a technical service bulletin. As far as I know, a TSB has not yet been issued for this problem, even though I am forced to drive the car with the windows fogged up. Ford seems unconcerned about the sefety hazard that this problem causes. Dt.
