Ford dealership - The diagnosis $200, the parts costs ~$50, labor to replace the part $2,800. Rental car $200. So to replace my $50 part is takes 3 days and $3,250.
I asked f the dealer would warranty that the new $50 part for 8 years, answer no. To me this meant I should expect to pay another $3,250 in the next 8 years to have AC.
I understand making designs cost effective. But,..., allowing a cheap and unreliable part (Ford's blendor actuator) to be located in a place that requires the entire dashboard to be removed (includes steering wheel) is negligent, incompetent, or both. Factor this in before you buy a Ford F150.
