Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Subframe mount failure. engine dropped causing loss of steering and destruction of computer controll module with resultant loss of engine function. subject of previous recall nhtsa campaign 98v323000. recall precedure performed but did not fix the underlying cause of failure problem. there are hundred of thousand other tauruses which are likely to suffer the same fate because the corrosion problem was not solved, just delayed, by the recall procedure. talked with ford motor and the dealer who performed the recall procedure and none show any concern other that they did what they had to do to satisfy the previous recall. repeat -- the corrosion problem is not fixed, just delayed and will surely recur to cause safety related failures in affected vehicles due to underlying engineering design failures.
