Exclamation Need Help

Okay, first off, I have to come clean. I don't own a Ford...my brother does. But I had to create a profile to get any help, because I couldn't post otherwise. He first bought a 2006 F-150 SC 4x4, and it had a problem: while driving with the A/C on, it would intermittently just start blowing out warm air. So after several visits to the dealer, hooking up a recorder to try and catch a glitch in the PCM, and then being told that even the Ford engineers couldn't figure it out, he lawyered up and filed under the Lemon Law. He lucked out, getting to swap it for a 2007 model without refinancing or anything. Here's the problem: the 2007 model has the exact same problem! He is already in works to file again when the summer rolls around (because they say they can't replicate the problem in cold conditions). I have searched high and low for anything related to this topic and cannot find anything. Has anyone had or heard of this problem??? Any assistance would be MUCH appreciated.

Tim

Yeah, he will have to get pretty much the same truck, except it will probably be an '08. He says if that's the case, he is going to try and sell it and get something else. We both just found it very odd that apparently no one else in the US has had this problem...at least not that we have found anywhere. With the duplication, I don't know what the deal is, but that's what they told him. So, he has to wait until summer, take it to them for a chance to "fix" it, and then when they can't, he can file and get a new truck.

Thanks 4 the response...

well i hope everything works out, but either way
i'd trade for another brand of truck, even if they
they fix this one, the next problem will probably
be the blown plug issue.personally i think it's
a shame ford has been building these truck
for 100 years and they still don't know how
to do it right.

good luck.
