| I own a 2003 ford taurus. since 5/04/05 i have had a water leak on the passenger side floor. during a heavy rain storm the water drips in from under the right side of the dash. many times it has created large puddles. the vehicle at the time was in the shop for its 30,000 mile check. the dealer was told but the problem was never fixed. after reading forums about this problem i am concerned this will cause other system failures,ex.ac blower shorting out. ect.. .please help me find a solution. thank you *jb | |||

| Car was sitting outside for a week while on vacation (not being driven). upon arriving home, started the car but the blower would not run. troubleshot it down to the blower motor. upon removal of the blower motor, i found 2 cups of water, along with some ice chunks in the blower motor. i replaced the blower resistor and the blower motor, now it works. there is an obvious problem with the way moisture can not only get in, but then drain down to and collect in the blower motor, causing it to short out. *jb | |||

| Began noticing vibration in steering wheel of 2003 ford taurus lx. took car to original ford dealer 3-4 times and the tires were balanced, but the vibration persisted. on the last visit to this dealer, i was told that i needed new tires. spent $400 on new tires at an independent tire dealer, but the vibration is still there. went to different ford dealer and they told me that the new tires were out of round. they balanced and rotated tires, but the vibration still persists. *jb | |||

| Condensation from the air conditioning drain tube leaks between the fire wall into the passenger side car interior. this makes the carpet padding wet and creates mildew and bacteria. this creates a potential health hazard and it will agravate simtoms for people with alergies. i suspect the seal between the firewall and the a/c condensation drain tube is to blame. a better seal may resolve this problem. | |||
