| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own 2002 ford tarus. while backing car out of driveway heard a odd sound coming from the front of the car. as i was stopping the car the right front tire exploded. i really was not sure what had happened since i was only going about 2 mph. i got out of the car to see what had happened, as i walked around the front of the car, saw that the right front tire was flat. i was not really sure what to make of the situation, so i began to prep the car for a tire change. as i was loosening the tire something just did not seem right. when i pulled the tire off i was in shock. it was the same thing that happened to this car about seven months ago. the coil spring on the right front broke, and took out a one month old tire in the process. i had the spring on the left side replaced about seven months ago. my blood ran hot! i have two small children, they were in the car with me, both times. as of right now the car is still under a extended warranty and is being repaired. these cars are not safe for a monkey to drive, after all that is who builds them. i have checked out this problem with these cars and lets just say that this isn't the first time this has happened. it happened in 1999,2000,and in 2001. but ford still claimed that there was no problem with the 2002 models. this was not something that just needs checked out, this is not a windshield wiper issue, or a trunk lid issue, this is a going down the road and then your dead issue. i will never own another ford product as long as i live. we are approaching the year 2010 and ford cant even build a car that you can back out of driveway with. good luck in the future, your going to need it.*ak |
