Consumer Description

THERE IS A LEAK IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF MY 2002 FORD TAURUS WHEN EVER IT RAINS. THE LEAK COMES FROM ABOVE, AND FLOODS THE FLOOR WHILE THE CAR IS SITTING STILL. THIS HAS CAUSED THE HEATER/COOLING BLOWER TO REPEATEDLY STOP. I HAVE HAS THE FAN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 17 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO ADDITIONALLY HAVE THE COMPRESSOR REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A CONTINUAL ONE, AND VERY MUCH HIGHLIGHTED BY MANY TAURUS OWNERS IN MANY FORUMS AND PLACES. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE TAURUS BODY, THAT NOW CONTINUALLY CAUSES INTERNAL PROBLEMS, AND SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY FORD TAKES A STAND THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. *TR
