Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND UNOCCUPIED IN OUR ATTACHED GARAGE WHEN A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FROM WITHIN THE HOUSE. WE DID NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE NOISE AT THAT TIME. A SHORT WHILE LATER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, THERE WAS A RUBBING NOISE AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS SITTING LOWER. THE FINDING WAS THAT THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING HAD FRACTURED. THE BROKEN SPRING DID NOT DAMAGE THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR. BOTH FRONT SPRINGS WERE REPLACED. FORTUNATELY, THE SPRING DID NOT BREAK WHILE SOMEONE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. *TR
