Consumer Description

AFTER A STRONG RAIN, A LEAKY COWL IN MY 2003 TAURUS LET WATER INTO MY BLOWER MOTOR AND SHORTED IT OUT. THE FAN ONLY WORKED ON HIGH. I HAD IT FIXED ONCE, AND THEN AFTER ANOTHER STORM IT IMMEDIATELY SHORTED OUT AGAIN. THEN, IN THE LAST WEEK (9/1/92008), IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER, EVEN ON HIGH. FORD HAS ISSUED A RELATED RECALL FOR A LEAKY WINDSHIELD (03V087000), BUT WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT IN TO TALK WITH FORD, THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT SAID SINCE IT WAS NOT YET RECALLED, THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. I HAVE NOT AS OF YET HAD THIS REPLACED AGAIN. *TR
