Cooling Fan Problems of Ford Taurus

There is a leak in the passenger compartment of my 2002 Ford Taurus when ever it rains. The leak comes from above, and floods the floor while the car is sitting still. This has caused the heater/cooling blower to repeatedly stop. I have has the fan replaced 3 times in the last 17 months. I have had to additionally have the compressor replaced. This problem seems to be a continual one, and very much highlighted by many Taurus owners in many forums and places. This is a factory defect in the Taurus body, that now continually causes internal problems, and since the vehicle is out of warranty Ford takes a stand that it is not their problem.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that the vehicle's cooling fan has failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who found that the blower motor had failed along with the cooling fan. The failure was caused by water entering inside of the cow panel. The failure of the blower motor caused the cooling resister to work intermittently. The current and failure mileages were 75,000.

Blower motor resistor failed on heating and air conditioning system where it would work on high only. Part replaced and it is now working, apparently, this is a common problem with the 2003 Ford Taurus.

A/c heater fan motor failed.

My blower motor failed I was told this was a manufacturing defect. I am upset that Ford is not taking responsible for there problems. The repair cost is about $250-300. This should be a recall because the vehicle has no defroster, this is a hazard when driving if my windshield show fog up I have no way to see out the windshield.

2002 Ford Taurus ses blower fan stopped working and the consumer was unable to use the defroster and heater. ** answer required*** the blower motor shorted out due to a manufacturer defect that allowed water to get into the motor. The motor was replaced. The consumer was informed that this was a common problem. The consumer requested reimbursement.

I get 1 or 2 inches of water in passenger side of car, and it causes the heater fan not to work on an 2003, Ford, Taurus se.

When consumer turned on the heat or air defogger, it failed. Consumer smelled odor coming from the vents. Took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the cooling fan needed to be replaced due to corrosion.

Continuous water leak on passenger side which fills up floorboard and has effected the fan motor on the heating and air system. . . Fan has quit blowing. This is a factory defect and that was mentioned to the dealer several times but they state it was not written down so they would not honor the warranty.

While driving any speed, the cooling fan fails to work. The consumer would smell strong fumes inside the vehicle. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Please provide more information.

The cover which allows water to get down into the fan motor rusted out. (blower motor).

We own two 2002 Ford Taurus vehicles. One was purchased new and one used. The first time owner vehcile experienced intermittent and finally complete malfunction of the heater/airconditioner blower fan. Dealer advised that water had leaked into the area which houses the unit and replaced as unit was under warranty. Second vehicle experienced same problem however was no longer under dealer warranty. Dealer installed a rain shield in the fresh air intake and replaced blower motor and resistor. Total repair bill was $363. 02. When we questioned that this problem was a design defect and perhaps should be covered by Ford motor company we were told no and when we asked for the dealer to provide at least a senior citizen discount, we were declined. We also experienced the same problem with a previous 1998 Ford contour.
