Strange Noise While A/C is Running

[sikedsyko]

My truck started making tapping/clicking noises from the HVAC blend doors in the dash in the last few weeks. Not sure if it’s normal and I’m just now hearing it because the truck is running heat for the first time since I got it, or if the blend doors are already starting to get sticky or having motors fail.

Sounds a lot like the blend doors on my BMW X3, except that started when the car was 7 years old with 120k miles, not 8 months old.

The dealer already admitted it's the compressor. But they are trying to say it's normal. I noticed this after three days of owning the truck. Already been down the blend door route.

Hi there! I can look into your Ranger's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Ranger's VIN?

Last update on this issue. After all I've been through with Ford and their so called customer relations department I've decided to move on. I don't want to fight a lemon law fight at this time. This truck isn't worth it. The dealership is going to work with me tomorrow and put me in a different vehicle. At least the sales department is stepping up. It won't be another Ranger. Sorry. I know most of you enjoy and love your Ranger and Raptors. I guess I just happened to get the one lemon. It happens. I hope the others with issues are able to get them worked out. I'll still look in and see what other members are doing to theirs just out of curiosity.

Still seems like you are rewarding them for their bad behavior. What happens if the replacement has issues and you are dealing with the same service department?

I had a long heart to heart with the main guy at the dealership. He assured me this wouldn't happen again with the new vehicle. He tried to get involved with the Ranger but Ford was the deciding factor on that. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time. I've had good relations up until this vehicle and we both want to keep that going.

Boy I hope I have better luck getting a buy back than you did. My raptor has been leaking oil from the engine. It’s had the engine taken apart three times and the cab removed from the frame. I haven’t had my truck since mid November.
