Consumer Description

ALWAYS NOTED A RATTLING, WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS A STRUT NOISE, BUT NOTHING WAS WRONG. TWO WEEKS AGO THE RIGHT SIDE STRUT SPRING BROKE AND NEARLY DESTROYED A TIRE. HAD TO BE TOWED, AND THEN HAD SPRING REPLACED. 10 DAYS LATER THE LEFT SIDE SPRING BROKE AS I ENTERED DRIVEWAY. MANY RELIABLE SOURCES HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO WAY A 2000 VEHICLE WITH 67,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. . BOTTOM LINE WAS THAT FORD USED EITHER INFERIOR OR DEFECTIVE SPRINGS ON A IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR.*AK
