I noticed a leak under my vehicle and discovered the air conditioner compressor leaking. I am preparing to take it to the dealer for repairs. I am aware that the same problems exist on numerous 2005 and 2006 models. I hope that Ford will take some action to assist the many customers with the same problem. I believe a recall is required!

The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who added coolant to the air conditioning system but the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 100,000.

Air conditioning unit started making noises last year (approx. August). Took it to the dealership and they told me the compressor was going. They also said there are so many problems with that compressor that they would not be able to get one until February.
