The blower motor in my 1991 ford taurus is starting to go out. This problem has been happening for the last week and a half. I will turn the heat on high in the mornings to warm up the car an within a 10-15 minute time frame - the motor will either stop blowing completely or barely blow. I understand there is an existing recall under 03v087000 and complaint number 10184014. As I understand this is a common problem for ford vehicles and needs to be addressed immediately.

What 1991 Ford Taurus owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I can't possibly remember the dates these things happened. I put a new (used) transmission and this one is slipping. I put more brake pads and calipers than you would use in a life time. The springs are weak in the back, but to exspensive to change. I put a new fuel pump and gas tank. I've put a new egr valve, oxygen sensor, throttle sensor, air temp sensor. I put a blinker switch and new struts because mine broke. 3 out of 4 of my doors will not open because of the handles. These are just a few of the things I wrote down or can remember. Now it will not start unless I pump the gas(it's fuel injected) and keep turning it over and over. Then I'm not sure if it will start again when I shut it off. The fuel pump is working I think, I can hear it. I bought the car used and the person put a 1989 motor into a 1991 body. These things still went wrong with the car either way. I did not check any below because I'm not sure what to check.
Delay wiper stalk switch is defective. Looses contact and wipers freezup. Every taurua owner I know has the same problem. Replacement switches fail prematurely also. I drive fords in a fleet and all similar switches fail.( various years affected).
Rear window wiper switch if left on when vehicle was turned off, would run battery down. Also, windshield washer fluid reservoir has to be set in a certain postion to work. Consumer was waiting for a call from dealer.
My compresser went out within a few monthes of me buying the car. Wheel bearings are out, and airbag light won't quit blinking the dealer said it would cost $400 to find out why.also, rear defroster never worked I have replaced the shocks/struts/ brake rotors and pads.
Tires failed. Nlm
The wipers stop in the up position when the switch is in the off position causing an obstruction when looking through the windshield. I asked dealer about this situation and they said it was common for this make and model year of car. If it is so common then why has nothing been done about it. Thank you for your time.
Windshield resealed/power window repaired/multi-function switch/transmission/steering linkage/ water pump/thermostat/fan/alternator and air conditioner compressor replaced.
