A/C Compressor Failed - No parts available

[YukiSport]

The A/C suddenly failed on my 2021 BSBL at 19,000 miles. It's still under warranty. The dealer diagnosed a failed compressor and "special ordered" a new one. Unfortunately, they said it was on backorder, no other dealers were willing to sell one if they had any, and no estimate on timing. I also heard from a dealership employee that they have 29 a/c compressors on order! (Not sure if they are all for Bronco Sports....but still....that's a lot of compressors to be waiting for.)

Anyone out there have a suggestion as to how to get an OEM compressor? The part number they ordered is LX6Z-19703-U.

I live in the desert southwest. It's July. It's HOT. It's unbearable to drive the car during the day without a/c. Uncomfortable, but tolerable, to drive at night when the temp "cools" down to 90.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Ha Ha Ha Ha! Perfect! Except I could only go 100 feet because that's the longest extension cord I have. But at least I'd be cool. LOL

Thanks for responding and brining a bit of laughter to this HOT issue.

There's always one of these if you're in a dry climate! Cheers!

FML. I can’t stand when car models don’t get the AC right. Living in Miami, if the cars AC is not functioning, it’s basically worthless. I’ve had a compressor and Evap fail on my last two cars. Both covered under warranty, but still. ACs are being worked like never before in this inferno of a summer.

Kinda' looks like my old '61 Corvair (mine was a red 4 spd) -- am I right?

Not mine, I just pulled a picture of one off the net for reference. I did think about getting one for myold VW bug (when I was in a drier climate). Cheers!

Not a bad idea, CPRCUBED!
One of those on each side would be really cool……in two ways.
Thanks for replying.
Kinda nice to have a chuckle over an aggravating situation.
