The problem is ongoing, something is wrong with the car. Every time i take it in to be checked, i get the same response: cannot not recreate the concern, ran through oasis and no problem found. I am over ford! There was a customer satisfaction program (aka recall without the press involved) (program number 12b36) in april of 2012 that had to reprogram the vehicle's pcm (powertrain control module). This was due to the fact that "inoperative engine cooling fans could lead to high engine temperature gauge readings and reduced air conditioning performance.
