Occasionally in the summer A/C stops blowing cold air.In winter same w/heater.
What is your question?
Occasionally in the summer the A/C will stop blowing cold air. This does not occur on short trips, but has occurred on longer drives. Typically if the car sits for fifteen minutes or more, the air then blows cold for about ten to fifteen minutes. If the car sits for several hours, then the problem does not manifest unless I drive for 30 to 40 minutes.
This winter the same issue seemed to occur at least once with the heater, i.e. it did not blow hot air, only cold air.
What needs to be checked?
About how much should that cost to:
a. diagnose?
b. repair?
What repair shops near Fairfax, VA can you recommend?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Driving longer distances/times seems to aggravate the issue.
How long has your 2008 Ford Fusion had this problem?
Since last summer although it has not occurred with great frequency.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 Ford Fusion. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Sounds like possibly more than one problem. Could be as simple as a relay going bad, more complicated like an A/C compressor clutch that is out of tolerance, or a climate control processor issue.
It would take $110-$220 to diagnose and then the repair cost would depend on what needs to be replaced.
We have all the tools and certified/trained techs to take care of the problem in the most cost effective way.
