Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

2003 Ford Taurus has a design flaw that cause water to get in to dash board area on passenger side. My fan blower motor stopped working, when I removed the motor there was water in the motor and the floor was wet. We had noticed water on the floor several times since we bought the car.

Condensation from the air conditioning drain tube leaks between the fire wall into the passenger side car interior. This makes the carpet padding wet and creates mildew and bacteria. This creates a potential health hazard and it will agravate simtoms for people with alergies. I suspect the seal between the firewall and the A/C condensation drain tube is to blame. A better seal may resolve this problem.
