AC Vibration in 2008...PLEASE HELP ME!!

Back in March I purchased a new 2008 Ranger XLT Ex-cab 3.0. Just recently I decided it was warm enough to run the AC in my new truck. The AC seems to work properly (meaning it seems to cool ok) but the problem or at least I perceive it to be a problem is a "harmonic vibration" that comes through the steering wheel and brake pedals when the RPMS are between 1000 and 1300. This is when it is rolling or sitting still. It is very annoying. It is louder when rolling but it is not necessary to hear or feel it.

Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? Is this normal and I am just not use to the sounds of my new truck even though I have owned 2 Rangers before this one?

I am in a "holding pattern" with a Ford Dealer who says a "field engineer" needs to take a look at it before anything can be done, this even after sending an email to Ford about the problem.

Try a different dealer, it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to warrentee a defective part.

Well I have taken it to 2 dealers at this point. The first told me to "drive it until it breaks"...this is a direct quote. And the other told me they would try to get a "bulletin" issued on the problem but I haven't heard back from them yet.

When I contacted Ford about it, I said in the email what I was told about the engineer having to look at it and all they did was call and "confirm" I was still on the waiting list to see this engineer. Then called me and told me that I would just have to wait. Now what??

Sometimes you gotta get MAD/PISSED OFF and DEMAND action or else!!!

Don't threaten anybody with bodily harm ( don't break any laws ) but DO get demanding and insist on them not giving you the run around!

If I had this kinda money invested in a BRAND NEW truck I would be f*cking livid and they WOULD help me and FAST!!!!!

Talk to the boss and if that don't work talk to his boss and if that don't work talk to his boss!! send e-mails to boss's send CERTIFIED letter's stating your concerns and needs!! Let them know that you are NOT EVER EVERRRRRRRRRR going to stop until it is RESOLVED!!!

give-um helll

Thanks for the support. I usually try not to be that type of person because I work for a car dealership (not Ford) and I know what "buttholes" that aren't happy can be like. But I also know that if I was a customer at our dealership, this wouldn't be an issue at all, it would already be resolved.
