My AC unit blew out and stopped working this summer, now that it is rainy season there is a puddle of water on the floor of my front passenger seat. Other people have had this issue call ref number: 03v087000. Complaint number: 10184014. I am not sure what they have done but it rains in washington state and my car is going to stink. The AC unit just up and stopped working, and the puddle of water only shows up when it is raining. I am unclear if this puddle gets bigger why driving but I would assume that as long as there is rain falling on the vehicle, that it is getting into the car.

This taurus has no engine braking at all. Speed cannot be decreased by releasing the accelerator pedal. Excessive speed can only be avoided by "riding" the brakes. This is not uncommon on this year and model. Ford dealer says it is normal and "ok". Just a consequence of having an overdrive transmission. Go figure!!

1999 ford 3l duo cam engine. Their is no apparent engine braking from this engine at highway speeds. Locking out overdrive will help but causes the engine to rev excessively. Cruise control speed will exceed the speed limit by a lot while going down hill, even slightly.
