Chronic problem with a/c not working properly…does not blow cool air. Taken it in to Ford 3 times. They diagnosed it for $500 but will need additional $2000 to fix. Seems outrageous for vehicle purchased new and has less than 50K miles. I found lots of similar complaints…what to do?

Well, Paul you are out of warranty and things do break . So you are just going to need to find an independent air conditioner shop . That should be less expensive but still costly.
