Consumer Description

LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE CAUSING THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION TO BREAK - $1100 REPAIR. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE RIGHT REAR COIL SPRING BROKE, PUNCTURING THE TIRE AND FORCING A REPAIR OF $400 FOR COIL SPRINGS+ $125 FOR NEW TIRE. NOW (3/3/09) I AM TOLD THAT THE REAR STRUTS NEED REPLACED DUE TO WEAR (AWAITING ESTIMATE). THIS IS A 2002 FORD TAURUS WITH 55,000 MILES. I DRIVE 12 MILES A DAY(6 TO AND 6 FROM) WORK. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. I AM LOYAL TO FORD, AND I LOVE MY TAURUS, BUT THIS IS NOT RIGHT. *TR
