Problem after problem with this car.... Ac clutch burned out, caused by a bad compressor. CANNOT afford $500 to $600 to replace the compressor and clutch.

I bought this car used thinking of it as a great deal due to the low mileage. After one month, my A/C compressor went out. I replaced it with a replacement pulley, since I really don't trust this model after everything I read about it and I didn't want to invest money to fix it with a new compressor. Two weeks later, both my rear power windows stopped working. I swear, this will be my last Ford ever!

The AC Compressor was making a sound inside the Compressor every 3 4 seconds the Pulley inside was bad and it broke the Compressor.

WE LIVE IN KANSAS WHERE IT GETS VERY HOT IN THE SUMMER, YOU REALLY NEED A/C. PLUS IN THE WINTER THIS STATE GETS LOTS OF WET COLD DAYS, YOU REALLY NEED TO RUN THE DEFROST WHICH REQUIRES THE A/C TO REMOVE THE HUMIDITY TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE GLASS. YOUR A/C SYSTEM IS THE WORST DESIGN I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHO WAS THE IDIOT THAT DESIGNED THE PLACEMENT OF THE COMPRESSOR? STUPID IDIOTS.
