“To whom it may concern, I have tried to get the air conditioner in my car fixed 6 separate occasion each about 2 months apart and I live in texas so an air conditioner is a must. I have spent 249.00 each time to get the problem fixed and would like to know what I should do, I was told this was a very reliable car but it had a problem with the air conditioner when I bought it. The saleman that sold me the car, jim honeycutt, said that all I needed to do was take it to a shop to get the blower fixed at the lockhart ford motor co. Which I have done 6 times. …”
