EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I'D LIKE TO REPORT THAT THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT FOR MY 2001 MERCURY SABLE IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IN ADDITION TO THE A/C NOT FUNCTIONING IN WARM WEATHER, THE MOISTURE IS NOT REMOVED FROM THE WINDSHIELD IN COOLER WEATHER, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FROM THE WINDSHIELD FOGGING. THE TEMPATURE CONTROL UNIT ONLY BLOWS VERY HOT AIR, NO MATTER WHICH TEMPATURE IS SELECTED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR FOUR TIMES; THE LAST TIME WAS ON 10/14/02, BUT NO WORK WAS PERFORMED BECUASE THE TSB HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/13/02 THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT FORD IS WORKING ON A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. AS FAR AS I KNOW, A TSB HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I AM FORCED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE WINDOWS FOGGED UP. FORD SEEMS UNCONCERNED ABOUT THE SEFETY HAZARD THAT THIS PROBLEM CAUSES. DT
