Praise the Lord my friend did not die in her Ford Taurus; the wheel came loose from the center of the wheel. Checking recalls tonight; we find the reason there are no wheels to fit this car!!!!
Where does she go to get Ford to make right what they designed that was not fit for use or merchantibility.... Cynthia Strobel 928 254 1127

Do you drive a 1990 FORD TAURUS?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
