Consumer Description

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, HEARD A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE AND A HUGE BANG! MY CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO INTO REVERSE WITHOUT PRESSURE ON THE TIRE...I GOT OUT AND THE TIRE WAS BLOW OUT! I CALLED THE TOW COMPANY AND THE TECHNICIAN FELT UNDER THE CAR AND SAID MY COIL SPRING HAS BROKEN! HE SAID IT WAS A GOOD THING IT HAPPENED IN MY GARAGE AND NOT WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD!!! FORD HAD A RECALL ON 1999 - 2002 FORD TAURUS CARS BUT OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM NEVER GOT RESOLVED ON THE 2003 CARS! VERY FRUSTRATING AND COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS! FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP! *TR
