#10185433 | March 18, 2007

THEIR WAS A WINTER STORM AND THE BLOWER ON MY 2003 TAURUS WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN THE TEMPATURES STARTED TO RISE AND THE SNOW/ICE MELTED THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT CONSOLSATION ON THE UNIT AS WELL AS ON THE FLOOR BOARDS. THE MOTOR HISSED, THEN STARTED THEN STOPPED. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAD THE MOTOR REPLACED A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR THE SAME REASON.

#10148332 | January 23, 2006

I PURCHASED A 2003 FORD TAURUS WITH A FIVE YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM ELDER FORD. BLOWER MOTOR WAS FULL OF WATER THAT LEAKED THROUGH THE VENT. THIS MADE IT BURN OUT. THE DEALER WANTS $420 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND COWL COVER. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM, I HAVE NOT MODIFIED ANY PARTS OF THE VEHICLE. NOT EVEN THREE YEARS LATER THIS IS THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING. AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FOR OVER $800. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AND FORD SHOULD NOT BE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF BY BUILDING JUNK. *AK
