NHTSA Complaint #10320044 — 2003 FORD TAURUS

I HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS AND EVERY TIME IT'S SETTING OUT IN A MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN THE RIGHT FRONT FLOORBOARD GETS SATURATED WITH WATER. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BLOWER RESISTOR TWICE AND THE BLOWER MOTOR ONCE AND THE MOTOR IN IT NOW IS GOING OUT. WHY ISN'T FORD BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS AND COSTS AFFILIATED WITH THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE COSTS INCURRED ON THOSE OF US UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE PURCHASED ONE OF THEM? DUE TO THIS ISSUE I NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 03/08/10 WHEN MY WINDSHIELD FOGGED DURING A RAINSTORM AND I LOST ALMOST ALL VISIBILITY. IF I HADN'T KNOWN THE AREA VERY WELL PLUS 25 YEARS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT DRIVING I VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. NHTSA NEEDS TO ACT ON THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I CAN BE CONTACTED AT [XXX], IN MESA, ARIZONA. MY CAR IS USUALLY UNDER COVER AND IT FLOODED WITH WATER ALSO IN FEB. 2009 &FEB. 2010, WHEN IT WAS STANDING OUT IN THE RAIN, NOT BEING OPERATED BUT JUST OUT IN THE RAIN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
