Had my ac compressor go out which broke a belt and caused vehicle to overheat. Dealer says ford has about 13 to 14 complaints of this happening. Anyone else have problems. No warning signs, just driving and boom.

That's scary! So what happened? You were driving and then your car turned off?

Exactly. Got a bunch of warnings all at once. Vehicle just stopped.
That is really scary. I'm glad you are okay. Was it an abrupt stop or were you able to roll to the side of the road when the car shut off? I've noticed my AC compressor sometimes sounds really loud. Hopefully my car is okay.

Able to pull off due to warnings on dash.

Hey someone else! I got this as well at ~2700 miles. Scary because I was turning right onto a highway at the time and the engine just cut off. Also sitting around waiting on parts. Did not get a loaner and have a road trip in 3 days. I guess I can only hope the fix doesnt just have the same problem

I am on me second week of waiting on part. Lucky I got a loaner. I only had 905 miles on mine. Had it for only six weeks. Good luck.

Did they happen to say what might have caused it? Or is it just faulty part? Mine occurred after being parked in the sun all day so idk if heat was the issue

My vehicle also sits outside all the time. They said it was probably a faulty ac compressor. Ford has received 13 to 14 complaints of same issue. Make sure your shop or dealership.reports it to ford and puts in an order that should be expedited
Then the waiting

Yup I was told it was "expedited", but the dealer says they have not even gotten a response from Ford yet. I need to ask about a loaner I guess. No car living in the burbs is rough!

That sucks they didn’t give you a loaner. I think that should be automatic to give a loaner with it being such a new car.

I hear ya. I basically told them no other way to work; i acted like a Karen. But dealership is really good, most times have to reserve loaner if vehicle kept overnight, otherwise I wait for it
