Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 FORD TAURUS ON FEBRUARY 5, 2008, WHEN THE BLOWER MOTOR CEASED WORKING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A WATER LEAK ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD. *TR WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GOODYEAR I WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER LEAK CAUSED MY BLOWER MOTOR TO SHORT OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENSE OF TIME LOST FROM WORK AND THE FOLLOWING COSTS: R/R BLOWER MOTOR, $88.00; NEW BLOWER MOTOR, $110.21; CABINET AIR FILTER GASKET AND BLOWER WEATHERSTRIP $27.73; R/R/ CABIN FILTER GASKET $70.40 AND THE COSTS OF INSTALLATION OF THE AIR FILTER $29.66. THE TOTAL IS $362.82. I AM REFERENCING FORD'S EXISTING RECALL NUMBER, 03V087000 AND THE COMPLAINT OF WILLIAM FORD #10184014.
