Description of the problem | The a/c compressor just went out for the second time and from what it looks to me is why the second failure has occurred is because the dealership did not replace the condenser as was required and also paid for by me. The truck has the "death-wobble" even though i have reinforced the steering in general and is very dangerous. However, due to just these two issues and the others it has had which are failed water pump, turbo, starter and hydro-boost brake booster with the water pump going out at about 50,000 miles and then the turbo at about 82,000 miles with the work performed at two different ford dealerships at a very poor quality i replaced the starter myself and the hydro-boost. You cannot trust a dealership when the worked performed is at best no better than what i can perform. Just like right now or for quite a long time it has had the two field service action items being numbers: 15m02 and 18m01 and after reading the horror stories about and or after a dealership has performed these two functions on other such person(s) vehicles, i most likely will not let a dealership touch mine. |
