Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Both rear springs found broken at state inspection. i was informed that this was a very common problem and it is the first thing that the inspectors look at because of this. evidently very well known in the trade. what can i do about it. evidently this occurred "quite awhile ago". i now have to spend $250.00 to fix it. if this is that common why has ford evidently chosen to ignore this problem? *nlm
