"what about the Ford pinto with the rupturing gas tank in a rear end collision? Or the old mustang that had the drop in gas tank? The company knew of these defects and chose to pay for any law suits as it would be cheaper than correcting the problem.

Don't forget about the "speer-o-matic steering column" in the mustangs! In the '65-'66 and some '67 models, the steering shaft is straight into the steering box.
