Why is not safe to open the radiator cap when the engine is overheating?
When the cooling system is overheated, the coolant is at pressure. Removing the radiator cap will release the pressure, and allow the coolant to boil, probably splashing you with boiling-hot radiator fluid. Your arms and hands will certainly be burned, and there's a good chance that the boiling coolant will splash your face. You wouldn't like it if that happens.
Why is it dangerous to open a radiator cap while the engine is still hot?
Opening a radiator cap while the engine is still hot is dangerous because the pressurized coolant can erupt and cause severe burns or scalding. As the engine heats up, the pressure inside the cooling system increases significantly, and releasing that pressure suddenly can lead to a violent spray of hot coolant. Additionally, the sudden change in pressure can damage the radiator or other components. It's always best to allow the engine to cool down before attempting to open the radiator cap.

1997 Ford Taurus why does radiator cap keep going bad?
Your radiator cap is made of metal and rubber. The metal and rubber are reacting to the rust in your radiator. Rust and oxidation in your radiator will deteriorate the cap at an accelerated rate. I suggest flushing the cooling system and replacing the coolant and cap. If it persists after that you might have a heat problem that is cooking the rubber right off the radiator cap. If this is the case you should check your thermostat and heating Coil.
