Problems with 2003 Ford Taurus STRUCTURE

The fan on my 2003 ford taurus stopped working and when i took it to the garage they found that the fan and the resistor had shorted out because there was a crack in the cowl near the fire wall-i had to have a new fan,resistor, and the crack sealed.

Water leaks in the front passenger side everytime it rains. the harder it rains, the more water ends up in the car. the dealer put the kit in last sat to fix problem, however last nite i had more water in the car than on any other previous leaks. the car mat was full of water, and when i took that out the carpet underneath was under water. and now when you turn on the fan in the car it squeals. called dealer, can't do a dry out of the carpet or a repair for another week or 2 due to no courtesy car being available. and when they do the repair it will take 2 days because the dash has to be removed and it's either something in/behind the dash or it's the windshield (or both).*ak

The consumer noticed water leaking in the front passenger side every time it rains. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but the mechanic could not duplicate the problem. also, while driving 40 mph, the vehicle vibrated uncontrollably, and the consumer was unable to shift the gears. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, however, the mechanic was not able to duplicate the problem. *ak there was a leak in the passengers floor, fumes and or odors from the water leakage, the transmission would stall out while in motion, the overdrive was not working properly, the blower motor made noises and was not blowing properly and the transmission jerked. the consumer requested a refund. *sc *jb

driver was stopping at a traffic light and without warning passenger's door came ajar. passenger was able to shut the door. consumer took the vehicle to the dealership. *ak

There wa ca continuous water leak on the passenger side of the vehicle. the leak caused all the windows to fog up and obstructed the driver's vision. the dealer tried to repair the problem five times but with no success. *ak *nm

The heater in my car failed. we called the ford parts department and they told me it was a known problem that the cowl, relay and blower failed due to water leakage. we took the car in they said the cost would be 400.00 which i could not afford at that time. now i have no choice winter is here and i need my heater working. there are numerous complaints about this problem its time ford fixes the problem at their cost not ours! i've also been told that i need front ball joints my car failed inspection. this car is only two years old i shoudn't be having these major problems. i can't remember the exact month or day i took the car into westbrook ford dealer but cost us 40.00 to tell me what i already knew the the blower didn't work because of water leakage. *nm

The front driver-side door does not shut correctly, never has. it leaks rain water, and is loud do to air whisping through the weak seal while driving. i investigated the situation and found this to be a common defect in this make, year and model. i would have submitted this complaint in previous years but i was not aware of this website. *tr
