| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 ford taurus. my car was recalled in december of 2004 for the coil springs to have a cover placed on them to prevent corrosion and breakage. i had the recall done and shortly afterwards started noticing a loud clunk and bang from the right front while performing a turn. i brought the car back to the ford dealer who performed the recall and had them check the front coil springs. they claimed they are okay. a year has passed and the noise has progressively gotten worse. based on the ford dealer telling me that the coil spring is okay, i decided to purchase four new struts in hopes of rectifying the loud clunk. the noise is still there even after replacing the struts. they cost me $650.00. now i feel i may have wasted that money. i visited a ford taurus forum on the internet and found out that quite a few people are experiencing the same problem. this is a serious issue especially if the spring fails on a highway. *nm |
