Water leaks into passenger floorboard when it rains. Seems to be a common event in ford taurus cars. Needs to be recalled and fixed.

Cowling problem. After rainstorm the prior evening I discovered approxamately 1-2 inches on standing water on passenger side of 2006 taurus.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford taurus. After rainy weather, the contact noticed approximately two inches of water on the front driver's side floor. The excessive water caused the carpet to have a strong odor. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but was not repaired due to the expired warranty. The failure recurred on a separate occasion, but the vehicle has still not been repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and current mileage was 61,400. Updated 11/12/08. *lj updated 11/14/08.
I have a 03 taurus which leaked water onto the passenger floor board also causing my AC blower motor to short out. I could not get ford to act even though a related recall existed under 03v087000. I have found many others with this problem.
Seems my 2006 ford taurus has this common condition. I noticed the damp padding on the front passenger side only after hearing a squishy sound when I pressed down on it while adjusting the mat. So I pulled the carpet up and sure enough the padding was wet like a sponge. I could see where the water seems to come from the firewall on the passenger side, near the center console. This problem is very annoying and makes me unable to concentrate on the driving. Ford should recall to fix this common problem for all taurus owners. This is obviously a factory defect!
