Water collecting in floorboard of my 2004 Ford Taurus after heavy rain/carwash.

3 Structure problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2007

Ford Taurus 2004. After a day or two of a heavy rain I found a puddle of water infront of the passenger's seat - under the glove compartment. Lifted the rug - just to find the under-padding is greenosh-black and there is a trail of leak. This has been going on for a long time - but obviously -it showed now after a very heavy rain. Found several discussion groups on the internet where _many_ Ford owners complaint about the same thing. Based on the work they had done at service centers - it is an obvious manufacturing error. However, a recall was never issued for this problem. Fixing the problem goes from 150u$ to 400u$- depending on severity, damage, car model and age. This is not an acceptable business approach on the Ford;s part (and all of their dealerships who are or should be aware of this problem - but are still quietly selling lemons).
