Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT TO DRIVE IT AND IT HAD A FLAT TIRE. ON CLOSER INSPECTION THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SPRING HAD BROKEN AND WENT INTO THE BACK SIDE OF THE TIRE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT THE CAR ONLY HAS 70K MILES ON IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED, A NEW TIRE PUT ON IT, A NEW SPRING PUT ON IT, AND A NEW STABILITY LINK. I AM GLAD IT DIDN'T BREAK WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THIS MODEL AND WE SHOULD CONTACT FORD TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS, OR REPORT IT. I DON'T HAVE THE WHOLE BROKEN SPRING, BUT II DO HAVE A SMALL PART OF IT. IT BROKE ABOUT 5 INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM SPRING SEAT. I HAVE THE 5 INCH PIECE. *TR
