| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 ford taurus station wagon that the front coil spring broke when backing out. i heard a noise and than an explosion when the front tire blew out. this was the same failure ford had recalls for 1999 and 2000 models as i had those cars. i emailed ford , and they said go to the dealer or fix it yourself. i spoke to a local dealer, who knew of the problem but said no recalls on this problem for my car. i have since heard this story from many people who knew others who had the same failure. i could only imagine what would happen at 65 mph driving down the highway. how many people have to die or be injured before ford was made to react. quality one what a joke. *ak |
