	The ac is not working on my ford 500. it started this season. i have not had trouble with it prior to this year. i have not seen a recall on this but my sister also has a 500 and hers isn't working as well. many complaints are being listed. i have not take it to the dealership due to being out of warranty and it is too expensive for the dealership to repair. please, please consider a recall on this issue. many 500 owners are having the same problem. it's one thing for it to happen to a small number, but numbers are increasing with this issue.

	2007 ford five hundred with 35750 miles dealer states the car needs rear brakes and rear rotors. the rear brakes pads are shot and the rotors are grooved. dealer states this is not covered under warranty under the ford campaign of 07n10. dealer states this campaign issue existed only with ford five hundred manufactured on or before november 28, 2006. ours supposedly was built february 2007. ford states this problem will not exist on any ford five hundred's manufactured after the date of november 28,2006. *tr
