2005 Ford Freestyle-the ac compressor and drier was replaced at about 93,000 miles through the extended warranty. It only cost me $75. No big deal right. The total bill was nearly $1600 for the warranty company. Now at 125,000 miles, it has gone out again. No warranty. I've to pay. It is going to cost about $1600. Now they can't find a compressor and are back ordered until April of 2011. I have never had a compressor go out on any other car I have owned. Approximately 20 cars in thirty five years of driving. Several with over 250,000 miles. If ac compr. Are on back order, many must be having the same problem. I need help. This is a rip off.

I have a Ford Freestyle year 2005. It has a throttle body problem. Car has had a problem on and off for a year with it accelerating, jumping forward when I place into drive and sometimes into reverse. I finally had a complete lock out of shifting and car went into safe mode with a wrench symbol on dashboard. This is a $600 dollar repair to fix and it is something internally wrong with the car and dangerous.
