Consumer Description

THE FRONT RIGHT COIL SPRING BROKE ON MY 2002 FORD TAURUS, CAUSING MY TIRE TO HAVE ONE SIDE COMPLETELY SLICED OFF AND BLOW OUT. UPON GETTING THIS FIXED, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE BACK RIGHT SPRING WAS ALSO BROKEN. I HAD NOT HAD ANY COLLISIONS OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS. UPON SEARCHING THE WEB, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON YEARS UP TO 2001 FOR FORD TAURUS'S ON THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO AT LEAST 2002. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED ON BOTH BROKEN SPRINGS, BUT IT TOOK 12 DAYS TO GET IT DONE! *TR
