Tl*the contact owns a 1990 ford taurus. While driving approximately 15 MPH, the contact heard a loud noise underneath the vehicle. Suddenly, the steering wheel locked up. The driver experienced extreme difficulty steering the vehicle, which resulted in greater effort to turn the steering wheel. The driver pulled into a parking lot and roadside assistance towed the vehicle to his residence. The vehicle was inspected by a certified technician, who stated that the failure was contributed to the subframe mount attachments. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 98v323000 (structure:frame and members), although the failures were identical. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were unavailable.

Whole back end of car failed and had to have it all replaced. The bolts broke causing the rest of the back end to totally fail and brake. Had to have it all replaced including the bolts, rear suspension linkage, both shocks, and rear axle. We paid out of our own pocket for this to tune of 800. And now to do all of this the car is now acting like it is either having problems with the fuel system or the replaced catalytic converter is going out.

I had to have the subframe mounts repaird several times under the recall in the first 18 months I owned this car.the bolts holding the subframe even broke at one point and I could not steer my car.I recently took this car in for a front end allignment and my mechanic noticed that the subframe itself had fractured.I contacted the dealer who did the recall work on the subframe and ford.they both told me they had never heard of the subframe itself breaking and that this was not covered under any recall.what I would like to know is if anyone else has reported the same problem and if there is anything I can do to get this problem fixed or am I just going to have to junk this car as it is unsafe to drive.

Was making a turn when subframe bolts came out due to being rusty. This caused frame to fall down, and lost control. Contacted ford manufacturer. Was given no indication of cause of problem.

When I brought the car in I asked the service rep. If this was a common problem. He said that he had seen it before and that there had been a recall but that it was for the 93. I looked up the recall and saw that it was for 88-92 models sold or registered in 14 states (but not va). I called ford's 800 number and they told me that my car was not covered, but that a manager would call me in 24 hours (no call to date). I talked to the a different service rep (j. Morrison) who told me my car was not covered by the recall and that there was no one to talk to, no regional service representative. When I picked my car up, I talked to a third service rep. Who told me there is a regional rep, but that he didn't know the name and suggested I call ford. No one will tell me the basis for why my car was excluded from the recall eventhough it exhibited the same exact defect and was repaired in the same exact manner if it had been recalled.
