Ford Freestar A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Ford Freestar A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Ford vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2006 Ford. Bring your Ford Freestar to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2006 Ford Freestar’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Ford Freestar A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Freestar A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2006 Ford Freestar, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Ford's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2006 Ford Freestar A/C recharges.

Common Ford Freestar A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Ford Freestar A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2006 Ford Freestar? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Freestar — without all the sweat puddles!

2006 Ford Freestar A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my Freestar air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my Freestar A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Freestar’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does the A/C in my Freestar rely on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Freestar.
  • Why does my Freestar have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Freestar to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Freestar’s A/C only work when the car is moving? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Freestar is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
