Consumer Description

THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING ON MY MOTHERS 2003 FORD TAURUS BROKE AS SHE WAS NEARING HOME. IT DESTROYED THE TIRE. I CALLED FORD & THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT ONLY FOR TAURUSES UP TO 2001. MY MOTHER DRIVES ON A LOT OF HIGHWAYS & I FEEL THIS COULD BE VERY UNSAFE. A LOCAL AUTO SHOP REPLACED IT & TOLD HER THE SPRINGS BREAK AS EASILY ON THE '03'S AS THE OLDER TAURUSES. *TR
