Ford taurus water leak on passenger side of cabin. Over an inch of water on floor. Appeared after cabin filter was replaced. Dealer replaced rt. Side cowl and weather stripping. Still had leak. Apparently they cracked or did not properly reinstall the cabin filter cover. Had some work done since then with new cabin filter, had heavy rain and water damage again. This time, blower motor and blower resistor ruined. Smelled electrical burning. Very dangerous, I would imagine, not to mention, trying to drive with fogged up windows. They want me to pay over $450 to repair. I have refused. Incidents were in 12/04 and now. Have read plenty of info. Regarding ford's faulty design of taurus' (mine) sables and other models. This should be recalled and repaired free of charge!!!

My 2000 ford taurus se, with 31,900 miles on it, has recently developed a six (6) inch long split in the sheet metal skin inside the right front door jam on the door piller. The split in the sheet metal is wide enough to see the interior of the door piller. This defect will be reported to my ford dealership on january 6,2003. The defect was first discovered on january 4, 2003. I would consider this defect extremely serious since the door pillar is an important part of the vehicle's safety mechanism. Photographs have been taken of the defect and can be mailed to your office upon request.
