A WIDELY-KNOWN DEFECTIVE A/C PART DAMAGED ENTIRE SYSTEM. "DESSICANT BAG BROKE." I PAID $125 TO DIAGNOSIS, "AROUND $2300" TO REPLACE ALL COMPONENTS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE $30 PART THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED ANYTIME I HAD IT AT DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY IF THEY WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING. THE ISSUE STARTED AROUND 4 YEARS OLD/40K MILES (ESSENTIALLY RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED). SEVERAL FORD TECHS HAVE SAID THIS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED.

WHILE BRAKING THERE IS A VIBRATION AND ENGINE STALLS. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE AND WANTS ME TO RESCHEDULE TO BRING IT N AGAIN A WEEK LATER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY I STOP OR SLOW DOWN IN A RIGHT TURN. I GET THE VIBRATION AND ENGINE STALLS. I HAVE TAKES ELSE WHERE TO CHECK IF THERE IS SOMETHING STUCK IN THE BRAKE BUT NOTHING FOUND THEY DO REPLICATE PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. I CAN NOT DRIVE UNTIL THIS IS FIXED AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE STALLS. DEALER IS NO HELP MAYBE MANUFACTURE OR SOMEONE ELSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO CAN ASSIST.

THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM P2111. ALSO TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP INTO GEAR CAUSING A LURCHING ACTION AND LOUD POP NOISE. MOVING DOWN STREET WHEN CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. LIMPED INTO AUTOZONE WHO RAN A DIAGNOSIS AND CAME BACK WITH P2111. THEN THEY LOOKED IT UP ON YOUTUBE AND FOUND HOW TO RESET IT (TURN KEY TO LOCK, SLOWLY (10 SEC) PUSH DOWN ACCELERATOR PADDLE, HOLD FOR 10 SEC, DEACCELERATE AT SAME RATE, TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART. IT WORKED FOR A FEW BLOCKS AND IT DID IT AGAIN. RINSE AND REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET HOME. LAST TIME ENGINE SYMBOL CAME ON...

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE NOT ALLOWING ME TO CLOSE THE DOOR AT ALL. AFTER CONTACTING FORD MOTOR COMPANY I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEARS 2013-2015 NOT INCLUDING 2012. I HAD THE PART REPLACED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AT ALL AND I NEEDED A BUNGEE CORD TO KEEP IT CLOSED AS WELL AS HOLDING IT WITH ONE HAND WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE THE PART THAT WAS BROKEN IN MY POSSESSION AT THIS TIME. I AM WONDERING IF THE PART IN MY CAR COULD HAVE BEEN A PIECE THAT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. I DISCOVERED THIS BROKEN LATCH WHILE OUT SHOPPING WHEN RETURNING TO MY CAR AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE STICKERS ON THE PART IDENTIFY THE PART AS FOLLOWS. 4171412002 12023 17:45 037 6761 BL84 78219A65 AB31T3 FD LH MIC (STONE) MODULE FOR FORD 32
