What owners wrote

The truck was delivered on 8/12 in late evening when it was cool, on the next day it was discovered that the air conditioning did not cool properly. It showed no colder than 60 degrees on max air in the left middle vent with all others closed and with 95 degrees outside temperature. When returned to the dealer on the next morning, the service order showed "no trouble found". They do however show that refrigerant(r134) was added which is odd as there was no trouble found.

The driver's side window regulator on my 2006 ford f150 has broken three times, I was able to get two replaced under warranty, but the third time happened this last month, I am replacing it today. I believe from my experience, and from thousands of forum entries citing the same thing, that ford should recall this part. This part is going to cost me approximately $400.00 to repair.
