Unfortunately, It's cascading. Beyond just not having the truck for everyday use, we've had to cancel a Week long July 4th RV trip.
Everyone who expected us to be there is impacted as well. Campgounds, Local economies, etc. For other's there's also the economic impact of payments, interest, insurance, etc. Everyone's situation is different, but I think we can all agree just being without the truck is just the beginning. There's many down level consequences when dealing with HD trucks.
I mention this because many of you may not know that Buy Backs are not the only options when dealing with Lemon Laws. You can easily extract 10k from Ford/GMC/Ram for the losses incurred. For those of you who aren't interested in getting your vehicle bought back and wiping your hands clean, I urge you to seek monitary compensation instead. Until they feel the pain, this will not get any better. Hit em where it counts. Also, if you do get monitary compensation, you'll be signing a NDA and you forfeit any future rights to submit any claims for the system in question. Meaning, you get one shot at getting compensated for the AC issue, but if later on the transmission craps out, you can do it again for that. Go get em!

I am with you on that one of not sweating my azz off!!!! My service department has not been very responsive either! First available appointment is end of July!!!! So $100+ thousand dollar truck sits with no A/C. Not that I am expecting them to drop everything for my truck but one would think that they would be proactive and at least order the parts ahead of the service appointment. "Well we need to diagnosis the issue" I can understand that but these AC failures all seem pretty cut and dry. A lot of new faces in the service staff. This is probably the 5th high dollar vehicle I have bought from them in the past 4 years.

Compressor On "back"Order for me
Just received word from my dealer that ford has authorized a compressor. National Backorder, with 2300 vehicles waiting for one.
Said I wouldn't be getting a compressor anytime soon. They will call me when it eventually comes in.
Said I can pick the vehicle up or leave it. I'll be picking it up so I can use it locally. Windows down!!!!

I'm about to have to cancel my Colorado road trip for the 4th of July because of this issue, so I am truly pissed.

GA and FL have a 30 day cumulative rule on top of the 3 repairs + final repair request. Everyone's laws differ. Read up and take advantage of what your state offers. I'd imagine some states are better or worse. GA is pretty good.
(a) (1) If a consumer reports a nonconformity during the lemon law rights period, the manufacturer, its authorized agent, or the new motor vehicle dealer shall be allowed a reasonable number of attempts to repair and correct the nonconformity. A reasonable number of attempts shall be deemed to have been undertaken by the manufacturer, its authorized agent, or the new motor vehicle dealer if, during the lemon law rights period:
(A) A serious safety defect has been subject to repair one time and the serious safety defect has not been corrected;
(B) The same nonconformity has been subject to repair three times, and the nonconformity has not been corrected; or
(C) The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of one or more nonconformities for a cumulative total of 30 days.

you folks are crazy, bored, etc. making a thread complaining on your damn AC.
rip the ****er out of the damn shop and tow your trailer on your RV trip. Roll down the damn windows and enjoy your day. Probably be good for you.
trying to sue a car company for a broken a/c system is the most petty thing. Who has time for that.
i really wish these companies would hold these consumers like you and hit them where it hurts, counter sue you with their attorney’s to show you and use folks like you as an example, cost you thousands of $$. Don’t mess with them.
tou complain about truck prices, insurance prices, etc. folks like you are why car insurance is high, wanting to sue for every fender bender, sue cause your a/c doesn’t work etc.
Just remember when you screw with companies that have attorneys on payroll, they are like sharks, when nothing to do, they are slow the owners want them to work and they send them costing/ making money on you!
yes, corporations like ford do the same.

Glad to hear you are not trying to sue to make money on it.
