When it rains I get puddles of water on passenger side floorboard. After several times of this happening, the blower motor has rusted out. Water appears to be coming down the windshield into the cabin filter area and then dripping through under the passenger side dash area.
2000 Ford Taurus se. I have had a leak coming from under the dash for a year now any time it rains. It has gotten to the point that both passenger floor and floor behind passenger seat is soaked after a good rain. It appears to originate near the blower.
Water leaks through the firewall and water accumulates on the floor in my 2000 Ford Taurus lx. See complaint #: 03v087000.
Passenger foot well fills with water during hard rains.
Water leaked onto the floor boards on several occasions. I have replaced the blower resistor three times, once following the installation of the new cowl and rain hat.
Ford Taurus water leak on passenger side of cabin. Over an inch of water on floor. Appeared after cabin filter was replaced. Dealer replaced rt. Side cowl and weather stripping. Still had leak. Apparently they cracked or did not properly reinstall the cabin filter cover. Had some work done since then with new cabin filter, had heavy rain and water damage again. This time, blower motor and blower resistor ruined. Smelled electrical burning. Very dangerous, I would imagine, not to mention, trying to drive with fogged up windows. They want me to pay over $450 to repair. I have refused. Incidents were in 12/04 and now. Have read plenty of info. Regarding Ford's faulty design of Taurus' (mine) sables and other models. This should be recalled and repaired free of charge!!!.
Passenger floorboard is filling up with water only when it rains. I have had the heater core, heater core causing and weather strip replaced by midas and rainhat and weather striping replaced by Ford but it still leaks. Blower motor shorted out because of water.
