Problems with the air conditioning in the Ford Freestyle 2005: Troubleshooting tips and experience reports
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2005 Ford Freestyle is experiencing issues with the air conditioning system, which is blowing warm air and not functioning properly. The suspected cause is a faulty A/C control valve, but a similar case with a 2003 Ford Taurus revealed a system leak. The recommended solution is to have the system checked at a garage, as regular servicing might prevent such issues.

Hey, thanks for your help! I've been driving the car for a whopping 89194 km now and I've never actually had any problems with the air conditioning or anything else. The whole thing has actually come on quite suddenly. Maybe I really should pay a visit to the garage, as your experience sounds a bit similar. It's been a long time since my last service, I can't say exactly when. Hopefully it won't be too expensive... Thanks anyway!

Hello again, no problem, that's what we're here for, to support each other. I actually have the same mileage on my car. The sudden problems with the A/C really sound very familiar. Of course, it could be that your A/C system is leaking somewhere, similar to my Taurus back then. But that's just a guess. In any case, I would recommend having it checked at a garage. Maybe it's just a small thing that needs to be repaired and then you'll have a functioning A/C system again. By the way, a regular service can sometimes prevent such problems, just as a tip for the future. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Hey, thanks again for your tips. I'll take your advice and have the air conditioning checked at the garage. Sometimes you just forget that regular servicing is really important to keep your car running. Remember, I've already driven so many kilometers! I'll keep you posted on what comes of it. Wish me luck!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2003 Ford Taurus. I'm not a master mechanic, but I do have some experience with cars. At my garage, they found that the air conditioning system was leaking, just like yours. The repair cost me 495 euros. However, without more detailed information about your car and its equipment, I can only help you to a limited extent. Are there any special features of your model that you should know about? How long have you had the problem? Big bang of any kind? The more details, the better I may be able to help.
