I will always support the American auto industry. HOWEVER I believe issues that do not result from poor driving habits or lack of maintenance were covered under warranty longer. There is no reason this many people should be experiencing the clicking noise, half the car blowing hot, and the other half of the car blowing cold...then turning to no heat or airconditioning - this is not a consumer caused issue it is a quality issue. My mother worked for Ford's for over 36 years as a single mom supporting two kids on her own. I know she worked hard, and I know she did an honest days work. Unfortunately not everyone is as honest and dedicated because someone is definitely not being honest about the problem affecting your customers!

Anytime the rear AC is turned on, the clicking sound appears. Makes the rear AC basically useless.

This is the second time I've had the rear blend door motor go out. The first time I took to the dealer and had replaced under warranty. This time the warranty is up and from info on the web I'm going to attempt the repair myself. Shouldn't be too tough; $50 part and a couple hours of labor. Still a pain for a recurrent problem.

Extremely loud clicking sound coming from the left rear of the truck everytime I turned on the rear A/C. Ford said my warranty was up and it wasn't covered. I took off the back left panel and unplugged the selector switch motor for the rear air. I still have rear air, but only from the headliner and center counsel. Just not from the left and right air ducts beside the second row seats.

I was a Realtor at the time, and I needed rear air conditioning for my clients. One day there began an awful clicking sound, so loud and constant you could not expect people to ride in my car. I had to fix it for the comfort of my clients. $400 later, wow....THANKS FORD!
