| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 sable rear coil spring corroded and broke. the broken spring punctured the tire causing a blowout. our dealer informed us that both springs needed to be replaced. additionally we were informed that there was a recall on the front springs o4s17. however the recall is not to replace the springs, they will be installing special shields on the front springs so that if a spring does fail it will not cause the tire to blow out. this to me is unacceptable! how can you allow the ford to produce and sell faulty and unsafe automobiles without demanding that they fix the problem and not apply a band-aid? |
