Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS AND ON 8-7-08 I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD POP. AFTER INSPECTING EVERYTHING UNDER THE CAR, I FOUND THE REAR COIL SPRING BROKEN AND STICKING INTO MY LEFT REAR TIRE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A LEFT REAR COIL SPRING FOR $98.00 AND I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE REPAIR BILL YET. *TR
