I started in this business when first gen Tauruses were all coming out of warranty. Wow, what piles of crap. Transmissions, power steering lines, engine mounts, head gaskets, subframe washers rotting out causing the whole subframe to spontaneously fall out of the car taking off from a stop while simultaneously yanking the steering pinion apart and cracking the throttle cable open
, ball joints, tie rods, steering racks, heater cores... man I hated those turds. I actually worked for a transmission shop for a short time part time, hired on by a friend's dad (it was his shop) just to help keep up with AXOD transmission R&Rs. And I do remember the fan control module was a common item to die on those, mounted right up on the cooling fan shroud.
Fortunately the vast majority of those cars are gone now. And that was "The Car That Saved Ford".
Oh, almost forgot about the almost yearly a/c line spring connect o-ring replacements and stabilizer clamp installs.
