1999 Ford Taurus Owner Comments

My ac unit blew out and stopped working this summer, now that it is rainy season there is a puddle of water on the floor of my front passenger seat. Other people have had this issue call ref number: 03V087000. Complaint number: 10184014. I am not sure what they have done but it rains in Washington state and my car is going to stink. The ac unit just up and stopped working, and the puddle of water only shows up when it is raining. I am unclear if this puddle gets bigger why driving but I would assume that as long as there is rain falling on the vehicle, that it is getting into the car.

I just purchased this vehicle from a car dealer. Since I purchase my bolts to the back brakes came out. Front end is making noises especially when turning the wheel. Back window is ready to break off missing passenger side hinge to hold the window in place. Brakes squeal. Electrical system is not working properly for example the power doors do not unlock, the power seat does not adjust when you push the button, the trunk can not be opened with the key, the doors have to be unlock manually.

I am experiencing a leak (twice) in my 1999 Ford Taurus LX that leaves my passenger side floor soaked and has caused me to replace my blower motor/resistor(once thus far). I do not see a specific recall related to my make and model listed on any Ford site but I have become aware that this is an extremely common experience for Taurus owners. This defect is being passed on to the consumer unfairly, a recall should be ordered. I paid less than us$200 for my replacement parts and labor, but I hear that Ford charges upwards of $500 to fix the leak completely. If I don't have this done, I will likely be replacing parts again and/or will be exposed to mold. Please act. I have been able to find others with the same problem online such as a previous complaint : 10184014 filed concerning recall 03V087000.

Various problems involving 1999 Ford Taurus station wagon. The power steering made excessive noise, dealer replaced the steering rack. The vehicle front end was out of alignment. The check engine light illuminated intermittently. The dealer replaced several components to correct this occurrence. The technician removed and replaced #1 coil, replaced the spark plugs, cleared all the codes and then the vehicle ran fine. The front and rear brakes were replaced and the rotors machined. The temperature gauge malfunctioned. The technician replaced the freeze out plug and thermostat. Windshield washers failed. The vehicle steering wheel was loose. The technician indicated that the vehicle needed front and rear struts, sway bar links and rear subframe bushing. When accelerating the vehicle's transmission slipped and on cold start reverse jerks into gear, dealer replaced the trans unit. The D/S door rubber on the bottom of the door was coming off. D/S seat belt would not retract. Antifreeze was leaking in out the rear block.
