Consumer Description

I PULLED AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. DRIVERS SIDE FRONT COIL HAD BROKE AND CAUSED TIRE DAMAGE. AT THIS TIME I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS INCURRED AS VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. UPON RESEARCHING COIL FAILURES I AM VERY ANGRY TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2002 TAURUS VEHICLES. CONSUMERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR
