I purchased my 2003 Ford Taurus from carmax in baltimore, md in Sept 2006 after trading in my 2000 Ford Ranger. The Taurus was a rental car in NJ before being sold to carmax. Since I purchased the car, I have had to replace the battery, starter, blower motor relay, transmission gasket and now the air compressor, power steering pump and belt needs to be replaced.

: the contact stated the front windshield glass leaked during rainy weather and puddles of rainwater form in the floorboard. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer. The dealer replaced the sealant around the windshield glass. Afterwards, the problem persisted. There was a NHTSA recall # 03V087000 regarding visibility. The VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not alerted. The battery needed to be replaced, because the vehicle would not start. The air condition failed. Updated 09/22/06.
