problem #3

Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,100 miles
On a recent trip to N. Carolina we noticed an odor like something electrical was burning in our 2002 Ford Taurus ses. Shortly after that the A/C blower would only work on the highest speed and we could hear a squeaking noise behind the dashboard. We had the car repaired at a private repair shop in N.C. they had to replace a resistor and the blower motor. On several occasions over the last 3 or 4 years we have found the passenger side floor carpet wet after a rainstorm. We didn't notice this often because the car is garaged most of the time. I am concerned that if the water leak caused the electrical short the first time it will only happen again. I would like to think that Ford Motor Co. Would want to repair the root cause of this failure which is obviously a manufacturing issue. A fire could very well have started in this automobile. Or will Ford wait until someone is hurt?

Windshield is always damp on starting. Blower motor ceased working and was repaired for $250. Wondering about the winddshield leaking? and recall as this will probably happen again.
