I took it to the Dealer on 11/08, they had it for a week. they flushed the heater core said it worked - I think it did for a day - I took it back 11/28, they flushed it again said it was clogged. Worked for a day -- still doesn't work now - but they put 2 new tires and new springs on the car they had it a week. Total bill $1,357.00 and still no heat

My 2001 Ford Taurus' heater blows cold air. Defrost blows cold air. Had thermostat replaced. Had the coolant flushed. Had the water pump replaced. Still heater not working . Could the heater core be clogged? A/C is working.

I have a 2001 ford Taurus which blows cold air no matter how long the car is running. The temperature gauge fluctuates between cold and normal while driving.

The heater stopped working. It would only blow cold air no matter how long you let it warm up. The temp gage never moved it was always showing a normal. It eventually ended up being the heater core. But we replaced the thermostat first before coming to that conclusion.

The heater and defroster will not get warm. The ac works fine, but the heat will not come out. The heater and defroster modes blow air, but its cold air. I can turn the mode control to the vent, and it'll blow a little warm air for just a few minutes, but none of the other modes blow any warm air. I replaced the temperature control switch (in the dash, turns from the blue side to red side), checked for leaks, put in new thermostat, flushed out the heater coil, and still no heat. Heater coil seems to be ok. I do not have any idea what it will take to fix it or how much it will cost. If someone knows, please reply.

awful to gouge someone for this problem when you need heat, tear out the dash, always cleaning the windshield, had to go back smelling antifreeze, turns out out to be something else with a seal, another couple of hundred bucks. just awful.
