2004 Ford Taurus body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My ford taurus shut-off blowing heat through the fan and essentially, I do not have any heat in the car. I took to a dealer and they mentioned that water leaked through cowl panel causing failure of the blower motor and / or resistor. I have extended warranty and was told that cowl is not even a part and therefore is not covered and since water leak caused the blower motor to fail, that part also is not covered. I have looked through the tsb's that ford published, that said that this defect is covered in bumper to bumper warranty. This tells me that ford acknowledgers that their is problem with the body parts of the cars, but is not agreeing to repair without cost. The dealer quoted me a $763 for parts and labor together to fix the issue. I have noticed a lot of complaints regarding this issue. It is high time that ford steps up and takes care of consumers.
Water leaking into cabin, water leaking into blower motor housing.
Ford taurus 2004. After a day or two of a heavy rain I found a puddle of water infront of the passenger's seat - under the glove compartment. Lifted the rug - just to find the under-padding is greenosh-black and there is a trail of leak. This has been going on for a long time - but obviously -it showed now after a very heavy rain. Found several discussion groups on the internet where _many_ ford owners complaint about the same thing. Based on the work they had done at service centers - it is an obvious manufacturing error. However, a recall was never issued for this problem. Fixing the problem goes from 150u$ to 400u$- depending on severity, damage, car model and age. This is not an acceptable business approach on the ford;s part (and all of their dealerships who are or should be aware of this problem - but are still quietly selling lemons).
Water leaking on passenger side windshield causing failure of defogger blower fan. Was not covered by bumper to bumper extended warranty because this is a known existing problem.
Dt: the contact stated water was leaking inside the vehicle on the passenger's side. The gaskets that hold the windshield were severed. The manufacturer has been contacted.*ak updated 2/7/2006 -
