Consumer Description

2001 MERCURY SABLE WITH 50,000 MILES. PURCHASED IN CALIFORNIA, MOVED TO OHIO IN 2005. ON DEC. 6, 2008, WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE THE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND IMPALED THE TIRE. VIN# , FORD SITE SHOWS NO RECALL IN EFFECT. I'M GUESSING IT'S BECAUSE WE BOUGHT OUTSIDE OF THE "SALT BELT". DID THEY FORGET THAT PEOPLE MOVE? I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE LIMITED RECALL UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE ROAD. WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE HOW WELL THEY'LL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR
