I had to sell my 21 Big Bend. It was either that or lemon law it. Because it has AC failure that 3 different dealers were unable to fix

Wondering if anyone has any experience with AC issues on their bronco. Long story short, mine has been at the dealer for over a week. Yesterday the service writer calls me to say there is nothing wrong with my AC system (no leaks or damage), but whoever installed the bumper/winch "let out" all the refrigerant.

First, I installed the bumper. If I had somehow opened a nozzle on a high pressure gas system I would have noticed.

Second, there is supposedly no damage so somehow a bump against something near the bumper area is enough to completely discharge the AC system of an offroad vehicle? That doesn't sound right.

Maybe I'm wrong and this makes perfect sense to somebody, but if I'm being billed over $700 for it I need it to make sense to me.
