| On the 2009 ford taurus, the windshield washer fluid misses the middle bottom section, triangular in shape, approx one foot high. this causes one huge blind spot in bad weather, especially in the winter. my 2008 taurus did not have this issue. the dealership said all of the 2009's are the same and they would not get paid to fix it. ford told me to call the owner of the car -ari, fleet lease. this is a big safety issue that will cause accidents. i have not had an accident yet. *tr | |||
