I'm still under warranty & need to get the car in to be looked at.
Don't wait. They may have to keep the car for a few days. So the sooner you get it in, the sooner you get it back.

My case is a bit unusual. I can't seem to turn the a/c off! If I have the air on at all, I haft turn up the heat to have the air blowing anywhere near normal. So I just turn it off, drop the windows, and drive . . .

Mine appears to be the evaporator problem on a 2016 Ecoboost Premium. I am just out of warranty. This seems to be a common problem on the Mustang.
Ford used to have a slogan "Quality is Job 1". I guess they can scrap that!
I might not get it fixed and sell the car when I can. There should be zero repairs this expensive with a two and a half year old car!

My a/c failed in my 2016 today...as I was driving it after returning from deployment. Needless to say I am a bit pissed off. Ford should have a recall out on these for the number I have seen on here. My wife could have had this fixed a while ago. 11k on the vehicle. @#$& Ford.

For those has their warranty expired go get yourself an acpro100 can and refill it yourself, its not a permanent fix but at 46 dollars you can afford to do that every year instead of 2000 bucks

I wonder how fast these leak, I feel like I lost mine overnight...not a gradual thing. Not sure if a recharge would work well.

Sidenote: mine is going in tonight to get checked out. Want to get this handled before the summer hits. Hopefully the core isn't on backorder...

for those keeping score at home: receiver drier failed and the condenser sucked in the parts causing it to fail as well. They're replacing both parts to the tune of $1,000.

The AC uses 134A which it does act a lot like an on/off switch when the pressure isnt where it supposed to be. Just refilling it from 25 psi to 35 psi my Max AC went from 72 down to about 45.

Update: Mine is an $1100 repair due to being 3000 miles out of warranty. My mechanic said he has NEVER seen a car this new with this type of problems

Got mine back yesterday, blowing cold again, but everytime compressor kicks on I hear a whirring noise. Guessing it's shot too. Could have saved the labor if they did it in one shot.

I almost want to tackle doing this myself. The thought of the dealership service department ripping out my dash makes me nauseous.

Does anyone have a part number for the Evap core? I have dual zone climate. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

took her to Ford dealership today. Condenser is leaking. I waited almost 2 hours for them to tell me. Had to call wife to pick me up. Manager said it will be ready Thursday because the part has to be ordered and it takes a full day to replace. On the plus side he said they would detail the car for free including wax. They have a sweet 350R on the showroom for $69, 731.00. Do want!

If your car is still under warranty I recommend taking it in for the fix.
