Water leaks into the cabin by model year
What owners say
Water leaked onto the floor boards on several occasions. I have replaced the blower resistor three times, once following the installation of the new cowl and rain hat.
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!!!
Water leak from the firewall near the heater motor resulting in significant amounts of water pooling on the front passenger floor.
Water leaked inside the vehicle, the window was replaced on numerous occasions.
