2024 A/C Issues

[flyitaway]

Update* I experienced the issue 10 minutes away for the dealership I have the appointment with. I Called ahead and asked if there was anything that could be done that day since the issue was currently happening. They said I could bring it by and have a service manager look at it and add it to my ticket as evidence. I arrived and met the service manager and a technician who immediately opened my hood and saw that my A/C condenser lines were frozen over. The service technician and manager had seen this before and knew a TSB had been issued. The tech got his laptop and updated the HVAC module in about 5 minutes. So far I have had no issues with my A/C and will keep y’all posted if it comes back. I haven’t noticed any change in the quality of the A/C besides maybe it not getting quite as cold.

Was your problem with the blower fan not turning on at all? Or just no air flow at start up?

The AC in mine works great. I leave it on around 70° and if you are in the truck more than 15-20 min it will freeze you out. Also, my seats are much quieter than my brothers '22 Tremor and dads '20 SD. Seems like they changed some stuff up mid cycle on the trucks because another thing I see on the forum is the corroding on the shock solenoids, but mine have a black cover over them that I have not seen before on the forum. Glad you got the problem resolved.

And how would YOUR dealer know or come to know this?

I asked the same thing..he said they have replaced a lot and he has had 5 himself.

All the 2024 models do not have “faulty compressors”

Stop making claims based on 3rd party “information”.

3rd party "information"??? that is what the service manager told me. I am glad to hear you have had better experience.

I went to the dealer today with an AC problem, not blowing cold/not blowing. My dealer said all the 2024 models have faulty compressors. So if you haven't had the issue get ready. Lucky they just got off of back order.

no airflow has absolutely nothing to do with the compressor, no airflow is a frozen coil ,which is a progamming issue / sensor issue. saying an airflow issue is compressor related tells me u know nothing about hvac,combined with the all compreesors on 2024 r bad is not possible.and before u say im clueless ,im closing in on 30 years as an hvac tech

Absolutely correct, the compressor only compresses the coolant. No air flow is an entirely different problem. IE, bad fan motor, fuse, plugged air filter etc…

First I've heard of this. Can you post pics here?

2024 Raptor shock corrosion.

I want to level my front end, but this corrosion issue has me holding back. I don’t want to mod the suspension if Ford decides to replace them down the road. Unless the level causes more corrosion, which it won’t, warranty for something corrosion related can’t be denied because of it. In...

What’s this have to do with AC issues?

Exactly. Service Managers do not have access to information like that, nor would any manufacturer release information stating there is a “100% defect rate” on a particular vehicle or component.

I own a 2024 Raptor with 4900 miles and my A/C is having the same issue.
