Consumer Description

2000 FORD TAURUS WITH 58, 500 MILES. VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE, ENGINE OFF. UPON SLIDING INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE ENTIRE CAR SHOOK. NOTHING EXTERNAL EVIDENT ON INSPECTION. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH FRONT SPRINGS AND ONE REAR SPRING WERE BROKEN. DEALER REPLACED BOTH FRONT SPRINGS AS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL, AND BOTH REAR SPRINGS FOR WHICH I WAS CHARGED $481. IT WAS JUST MY GOOD LUCK THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN MY GARAGE AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHERE THE SPRING COULD HAVE RUPTURED A TIRE. *TR
