2008 Ford F-150 Equipment Problems

“We bought this truck brand new in february 2008 and the air conditioner does not blow cold at idle. It will blow approximately 70 degrees out of the vents on a 90 degree day.

I am going to go as far as I can to prevent any other poor sole from experiencing what we are experiencing. …”

When this happens I can see why some people run over things even though they say they are on the brake. …”

“Bought a 2008 F-150 and the A/C does not cool properly. Checked it against a 2005 F-150 that I own and new truck A/C is 8 degrees warmer. Took new truck back to dealer, got a loaner 2008 and checked it's A/C. It cools like the 2005. Dealer said nothing wrong with A/C. It has been back to dealer twice now and now is cooling 15 degrees warmer than originally. Dealer will not help. Contacted customer relations in deaborn,mi and they ended up talking to my dealer and said same thing ..nothing they can do. I live in texas and it gets hot here. …”
