Dealer said he was aware of the bulletin and said it was not covered by warranty and would cost me $230.00 to fix it. I said i'd think about it and went home and wrote Ford to complain about the charge for as acknoledged defect in the flux used. 2 days later the dealer calls me and offers to knock off $150.00 off of the charge because Ford called him with my complaint. I said that sounded pretty fair since I have a $100.00 deductible on the warranty. I brought it in and 4 hrs later the service manager calls me and says he would eat the whole thing and there would be no charge for the cleaning. Got it back and so far so good. I guess my e-mail to Ford payed off.

I've got an appt. tommorow morning at the dealer, I'll share the news.

Well I put a new filter in plus the screen and still small white particles blow out of the vents when I turn the fan on. I'm stumped.

We just bought an 07 with 35K on it. I noticed a funny smell coming from the vents and also what looked like small white dust particles blowing out of the vents. When I went to replace the cabin filter, all that was in the compartment was a black plastic frame with screening that was pretty dirty and no filter at all. I went to the dealer and bought a filter and opened the box and it contained a white fiber filter similar to something you would find in hvac system. Could the filter in my car disentegrated over time?? Thanks Bob
