Contact ford head office and ask them the fix the problem under goodwill . It’s a known problem and even with the warranty out they should repair it . Good luck

No but Ford does have goodwill programs to help customers. They really should cover it anyway. See what they say.

The goodwill has been a gesture that other M6G members have received. It’s been noted in the main A/C EVAP thread stickied at the top of this forum.

Depending on how far out from the new car 3/36, some members were able to get Ford to fix “under warranty” with no out of pocket cost. Others who received Ford Service Center quote for repair and were “well beyond” the 3/36 were able to get Ford Corp to cover anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 of the repair cost.

The main thread is huge, but it’s all in there.

If you’re set on selling over that issue, Vroom seems to be offering the best payments for used S550’s. Do a quote to see how much you will get from them before trying to sell outright or trading in…

Mine went as well ,but was still under warranty . But I know others that have had theirs fixed out of warranty because it’s a known fault and done under goodwill from ford . Australia tho ,but still sorted by ford themselves .

Mine went out about 2 years into owning my new 2016 ecoboost, car was still well within warranty period, took into dealer had it fixed instantly for $0, its been great ever since through the hot weather here in Florida.

The cost the dealer covered was about $1,800

The new revised evaporator unit should last, but obviously nothing is guaranteed.

Vroom huh? I checked carmax and they offer 30-31k which i thought wasnt bad, debating wether to go thru the hassle with ford, i feel like this car is just gonna keep desintegrating by just sitting in my garage which none of my other cars did (vette,s2k,Z,miata) whats wrong with ford man this is my first and probably only purchase from them.

As far as the actual car, the S550 is a great car and platform overall. The 2015-17's had minor bugs for such a brand new platform and A/C EVAP issues were eventually worked out once the 2018 model year was introduced. Ford is aware of the S550 A/C issue (there's multiple TSB's as documented in the main A/C thread). So, before you make any rash decision, definitely give the Corp # a call and see if they can provide you assistance for the repairs.
