FRONT SUBFRAME RUSTED OUT. THIS WAS DISCOVERED PRIOR TO COMPLETE FAILURE AS A RESULT OF NOISES IN THE FRONT END. FIRST THERE WAS A RECALL TO PROTECT THE TIRES FROM FRONT SPRINGS WHICH RUST OUT/ BROKE, AND PUNCTURED THE TIRES. THEN THERE WAS A RECALL TO REPLACE TWO BOLTS IN THE SUBFRAME WHICH RUST OUT. NOW THE SUBFRAME ITSELF HAS RUSTED OUT. THIS SERIES OF RUST PROBLEMS IN CRITICAL FRONT END COMPONENTS SEEMS TO BE MORE THAN COINCIDENCE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SUMMIT LINCOLN MERCURY SAID HE HAS SEEN MANY CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE DISCOVERED IN TIME TO WELD THE SUBFRAME RATHER THAN COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY. MY CAR'S SUBFRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT WHERE THE HOROZONTAL STRUT ARMS MOUNT. FORD DENIES THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK
