With the warm weather starting to ramp up, expect a few more to fall off the perch shortly.Just wondering...any more of these failures that anyone knows about? Thankfully seems to be going quiet...
Show them this:I explained to the Service rep that there was an issue with the air con evaporator in the first release models but alas they have never heard of it before
Then refer them to this:Told that I am looking at approx $1500 if the evaporator is leaking also that the standard extended warranty does not cover the fault.
Yes my biggest fear as well. Mine went at 8 months the first time when they recharged it, but then was good for another 18 months before it failed again and they replaced it.Had failure of my 2016 GT Mustang Air Con last week, took it to the Ford dealers in Canberra, warranty expired last April and the vehicle has only 15,000km on the clock. I explained to the Service rep that there was an issue with the air con evaporator in the first release models but alas they have never heard of it before also never heard of the oil cooler failures. Tried to enlighten them but not interested. Anyhow the mechanics could not find any leaks but suspected the evaporator was the cullpret so the system was recharged with dye added now it is wait and see if the system still works in a few weeks time. Told that I am looking at approx $1500 if the evaporator is leaking also that the standard extended warranty does not cover the fault. Hate to see what Ford will do if the oil cooler fails!
Fingers crossed, hopefully they've done some homework.GT550 - The air con is still working but I have to take it back to Ford in about 2 weeks to get the system pressure checked. Fault may have possible been insufficient gas in the system as there are no signs of any dye leaking out. Here's hoping that was the problem.
Great result under the circumstances, and how it should be. Some dealers probably see it as a high risk job that'll take them longer than normal, and for which Ford may not adequately compensate them, and hence don't want to go near it.My late 2016 GT fastback's aircon started to fail about a week and a half before the original warranty ran out (I'm the second owner). They booked me in to have a look at it 2 days before the end of warranty and when I picked it up they said "Yep, it's the evaporator, we've got it booked in for 2 days next month to do the job and you get a loaner car while we fix it"...I don't really understand why some dealers make it so hard when ultimately Ford should be footing the bill, not them.
...and that when found to exist Ford would extend the warranty to cover acceptable service life of the affected parts at least to original owners with a Ford service history.You would think that on a $60,000 plus vehicle that these issues would not exist.
Read my Ford Factory Extended Warranty; only excludes batteries, tyres and other consumables presumablycontact Ford to see if it can be done under extended warranty.
