Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE POPPED. AFTER REMOVING THE TIRE I NOTICED THE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN AND WENT INTO THE TIRE. WE CALLED TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY TOLD US THIS WAS NOT COVERED OR UNDER RECALL. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED AND NEW COIL SPRINGS AND A NEW TIRE PUT ON AT OUR EXPENSE. I DID A SEARCH ON LINE AND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON EARLIER FORD TAURUS WITH A RECALL ON 1999-2001 MODELS. *TR
