Consumer Description

EVERY TIME IT RAINS HEAVY, I END UP WITH WATER ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR. THE DEFROST BLOWER MOTOR HAS SHORTED OUT THREE TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM FORD TAURUS OWNERS. DUE TO SOME KIND OF DEFECT,WATER GETS IN THE HEATING SYSTEM AND ENDS UP ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR. IT ALSO MAKES THE DEFROST BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTOR GO OUT. *TR
