| The motor cradle in my mother-in-law's 1996 taurus rusted through and broke as she was making a turn. this caused the motor to partially drop making steering almost impossible. i did some research and found that there was a recall for this problem for the 1995 taurus in dec. of 1998. my question is if this problem was not discovered until 1998 then why would the 1996 taurus not be included in this recall? i would like to see credible documentation that ford substantially fixed a problem with the motor cradles in the 1996 taurus two years before they knew there was a problem prompting the 1998 recall. short of that, i would like nhtsa to explain why this problem should not be fixed by ford. | |||
