Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Left front coil spring snapped puncturing the tire. called ford and they said there was nothing they could do as there was no warranty or recall. i had checked on-line only to discover that the 1999-2001 taurus had been recalled for the very same problem. like many others i was fortunate that i was not traveling on the freeway. i had just come from work and it happened as i pulled down my driveway. will it take a death before ford extends it's recall to cover 2002 vehicles? i had my vehicle repaired by my local mechanic (not ford related) they replaced the part with a new product by martin. i decided i did not want them to repair my car with the same piece of crap part. *jb
