“I have had the same AC Line replaced in my car on six different occasions by three different mechanics. Part number: CV6Z19D742F. Today I was told by Ford that it is just a faulty/bad part design and thereâs not much I can do short of getting a new car. Very disappointed this is the answer I got after spending nearly $1,000 on fixing this problem.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 28 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
