Engine runs at high idle for several minutes when air conditioning first used

After researching your service bulletin database I found 2 like problems relating to mine. Compressor failure. # 96-20-6 and # 96-22-6 this vehicle is only on its second summer of use. An air conditioner compressor should not self destruct causing expensive repair to the entire system. This is a known defect that Ford is aware of and they will do nothing about it. It is not in my budget to hand out $1200 (Ford estimate) for a piece of faulty equipment which failed due to an error at the factory. I have had nothing but problems with Ford dealership service departments, and can honestly tell you that I will never buy another Ford product again if this is how Ford treats their customers. Please help. Sincerely, mark lachappell
