| Air conditioner will intermittently start blowing hot air on passenger side. i have dual control air. after you shut the car off over night (or long period time) the air will work again and then 20 to 40 minutes into the drive it will start blowing hot on the passenger side and the driver's side is not as cool as it should be. i have taken this car to the ford dealer over 5 times for this problem and they still have not fixed it. i get it back and they think they have fixed it, but 2 or 3 days later it will break again. they have charged the ac & replaced the main controls in the cab of the car. my warranty runs out in 500 miles! *nm | |||
