NHTSA Complaint #10260629 — 2001 FORD TAURUS

I OWN A 2001 FORD TAURUS. APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND HEARD SOMETHING DROP FROM MY CAR (AT A SPEED OF 20 MPH). I STOPPED MY VEHICLE AND WALKED DOWN THE ROAD TO FIND, WHAT APPEARED TO BE A PART FROM MY VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT IT, AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, IT WAS MY FRONT COIL THAT HAD BUSTED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPAIRED IT SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT COILS. LAST WEEK, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND I HEARD SOMETHING METAL-LIKE FALL OFF MY VEHICLE AND MY CAR FISHTAILED (ABOUT 55 MPH). I STOPPED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FOUND THAT A COIL HAD BUSTED YET AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE COIL THAT BROKE WAS FROM THE REAR AND GOOD OLD FORD ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE REAR COILS---JUST THE FRONT!ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SO, IN SHORT, THERE IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE COILS ON THE 2001 FORD TAURUS. I HAVE READ THROUGH ABOUT 200 COMPLAINTS THUS FAR AND DECIDED THAT SOMETHING AS TO BE WRONG WITH THESE COILS AND I FEEL THAT IT'S THE COMPANIES RESPONSIBILITIES TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. PLEASE, DO NO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO LOOSE A LIFE IN ORDER TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
