| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While eating breakfast, my wife heard a metal popping sound outside near our 2001 mercury sable. when she went out to investigate, she found a piece of the rear right coil spring. this happened minutes before she was to leave with our children. i contacted ford and the dealer and was left to pay for the towing and repairs $80 & $303.99 for a total of $383.99. this is the second time this has happened. the first being a front coil spring and tire which was blown out then subsequently replaced by ford on a recall. i find it disturbing that the springs with the same faulty metal were allowed to remain on the rear suspension and not replaced. twice my family has averted disaster connected with these coil springs. when is ford going to do the right thing and replace all these faulty springs? maybe after enough people are injured or die! *jb |
