Heater/ac fan continuously stops working. I first replaced the motor resistor in August 2012. It worked for 2 weeks when it broke for the 2nd time. I went to fix it again, only to find out it stops working again after 2 more weeks. It is now October and the motor resistor broke 2x and now the motor blower is completely gone. No ac/heater. The temperature in NY in October is not compliant with no heater. This is ridiculous. Broke 3xs in a span of 6 weeks or so.

I have a 2003 Mercury Sable with 19k miles on it. We had heavy rains Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning, followed by sub freezing temperatures throughout Wednesday into Thursday. Thursday morning, (12-10-09) the blower motor for the heating/ac system would only work on it's highest setting, and continues to do so. A few times throughout the last couple of weeks, my wife and I thought we heard water rushing around somewhere in the vicinity of the passenger side area. I read over 150 complaints on topix. Com for the very same problem with several different model years of both Sables and taurus'. It was recommended by several folks that people with the same issues should file a complaint here. It seems that the problem with the blower motor/resistor assembly is caused by water entering the blower housing itself. I have read that Ford is well aware of the problem, as they have issued a service bulletin for it. My concern is that since winter is upon us, a possible unsafe condition could arise should the blower motor quit working completely, thus preventing the windows from defrosting. Additionally, I feel strongly that this problem should be repaired at no cost to me by Ford.

I have a 1999 Mercury Sable. In January 11, 2008, I have replaced the windshield washer pump. On July 15, 2008, the pump stopped again. I have noticed that some of the 2000 Mercury Sables are on recall for the same problem. Might the 1999 Mercury Sable be looked at in this light to ascertain if this is a recurring problem?.

We have a lot of humidity here where I live, and I needed to use the defrost mode on my 2002 Mercury Sable with 41k miles, but I wasn't able to get warm air to come out. I tried a few different days before I reported it to my dealer for service. When I took it in, the mechanic replaced the thermostat and gasket and the blend air door motor. It cost me $237. I tried it the next morning--no defrost. They had to order another motor.

The contact stated defrosted blower motor malfunctioned. While driving the blower stopped working and will not work to defrost the windows. The vehicle was taken to a certified dealership for inspection twice. However, no repairs were made by the dealer because of the excessive cost. She made one temporary repair. Currently, she ordered the part and was waiting for its arrival so she could repair the problem herself.

Front windshield would fogged up first, and then unfogged when using defogger, which could lead to a vehicle crash due to poor visibility.
