The blower blows hot air in the summertime and almost no hot air when in the heat mode on the driver's side in winter. So no heat in winter and no A/C in summer, Delightful combination. Not Ford's problem, please just pay and don't complain is their motto. Problem is this is a really nice riding, comfortable car, but with many, many expensive repair problems. Won't buy another FIX OR REPAIR DAILY...FORD.

The A/C stopped working on the Explorer just before the start of our hot / humid summer here in Michigan. We had the A/C re-charged to no avail. Mechanic estimated up to $1000 to remove the dash as the vents no longer work properly either. Shortly after the A/C stopped working the transmission went out. $3000 to fix the transmission. This vehicle is, by far, the worst vehicle we have owned. Seriously considering a Honda Ridgeline for our next truck.

One of the many problems I've had with this vehicle. The a/c was blowing warm air. The condenser was leaking and I had to have that replaced. I've spent thousands on repairs, I could have bought a new vehicle. I just never think that ANOTHER thing can go wrong. I don't drive crazy, I have it serviced on a regular basis. There is no reason for all the problems I've had except inferior quality. The kick in the butt is I almost never use the a/c!

Air conditioning just stopped working one day. Add it to the list of problems with this vehicle--transmission, electrical, leaking water from back window/door. I will never buy a Ford again.

My air compressor stopped cooling on my birthday, September 20, 2007. Living at the beach, this caused for a couple months of unbearable heat. I have had cars that were 10+ years old and this never occurred. Just the FIRST of many complaints with this peice of crap.

When we go to use the A/C during the hot summers in Pennsylvania, the crap box would not work. We would be sweating but the heater would work but not the A/C. Somebody tell me why Ford is still in business!!!!!!
