Consumer Description

HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS SES; 80K MILES. INITIALLY, MY FAN ONLY WORKED ON HIGH. I JUST DEALT W/ IT, NO BIG DEAL, BUT EVENTUALLY, MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT... SO AFTER I CHANGED THAT, MY FAN NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BLOWER MOTOR & THE RESISTOR FOR IT. IN THE MEAN TIME, DUE TO THE FAN NOT WORKING, I ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DEFROST NOT BEING ABLE TO DO IT'S JOB, AND BECAUSE THERE WAS NO HEAT, I GOT A COLD AND MISSED SOME WORK. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE I HAVE FOUND THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM W/ THEIR FORD TAURUS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM, IF THAT'S THE CASE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE PART FOR A RESOLUTION. BAD CHOICE ON FORDS PART. NEXT TIME, I'LL BUY HONDA. *TR
