NHTSA Complaint #10275032 — 2004 FORD TAURUS

FILING COMPLAINT AGAINST FORD MOTOR COMPANY DEFECTIVE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF THE BLOWER MOTOR MOUNTING WHERE RAIN AND DAMPNESS GETS INTO THE BLOWER DESTROYING NOT ONLY THE BLOWER MOTOR BUT ALSO THE RESISTOR. REPLACEMENT OF THESE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PARTS ALONG WITH A RAIN KIT TO PREVENT FUTURE WATER DAMAGE WAS ESTIMATED AT $583.00 PLUS TAX. UPON CALLING FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM POSTED ON THE INTERNET BUT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE CALLED FORD TO COMPLAIN AND THEREFORE IT WAS, BASICALLY, MY PROBLEM AS IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE IS NOW ABSOLUTELY NO VENTILATION SYSTEM IN THIS CAR WHATSOEVER DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND THE PARTS GOING OUT. SAFETY CONCERN? YOU BET WHEN YOU HAVE NO AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM IN YOUR CAR ARE PUSHING CLOSE TO 60 YEARS OLD AND DRIVE IN HUMID CHICAGOLAND. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL HAVE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I PASS OUT OR DIE WHILE DRIVING IN THERE DEFECTIVE NON-WORKING - NO VENTILATED CAR! *TR
