Ac compressor won't stay on while driving?

2006 Ford Escape. I recently had a compressor leak & they put in a 'new' compressor. When the car is in park or on a red light; the compressor stays on for a while and cycles normally and the air is cold. However, once I start driving as soon as the compressor kicks in, it turns off. So, in other works the compressor doesn't engage and hot air comes out while moving. So much turning on and off that it sometimes make my car hesitate or nudge down the road. I plan on taking it back to get the ac system checked but I know this is gonna be difficult for them to figure out. Any ideas?

They didn't fix it. They will if you take it back

Many vehicles have a load sensor that will turn the AC compressor off when you accelerate fast. If it works normal while cruising there may not be a problem. Take it back the shop that worked on it and tell them what's happening.

  • Why won't my car stay idling? I just put a new fuel pump on my 1976 ford gran torino and it won't idle at all unless I fill the fuel bowl up and when I do that it will idle for a little bit and then when I start it up again it will idle for a little bit less then a little bit less and so on until it won't idle at all?
  • My car door won't stay shut in the cold? I have a 2005 Ford Taurus. Last year, and a couple of times so far this year whenever I open the door, and try to shut close. It won't close or shut completely, sometimes when its very cold, if your on the inside you can push the door(s) open without touching the door handle. I was told to use WD-40. I was wondering where to spray it, and if there's anything better out there?
