Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 ford taurus. after reading another report of malfunctioning of front coil springs i have decided to report the same type of incident which happened to the vehicle in 2005. the front left coil spring snapped and punctured the tire, the entire spring was lodged through the front driver's side tire - the vehicle was not drivable, and had to be moved on a flat bed tow truck to the repair shop, where both front coil springs had to be replaced.*ak
