Consumer Description

WE WERE AT A SCHOOL EVENT AND AT THE END OF THE DAY GOT IN OUR 2003 FORD TAURUS AND PUT IN GEAR TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT HEARD A LOUD BANG. GOT OUT AND NOTICED FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. GOT THE JACK AND SPARE TIRE OUT OF TRUNK, LIFTED CAR, LOOSENED LUGS AND TRIED TO PULL OFF TIRE - WOULDN'T COME OFF. REACHED BEHIND TIRE AND FOUNT THE SUSPENSION SPRING WAS STICKING IN THE BACK OF THE TIRE. REACHED IN FURTHER AND PULLED OUT A SECTION OF THE SPRING THAT WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF AND TOSSED IT ON THE GROUND. PUT TIRE BACK ON AND HAD A FLAT BED TRUCK COME TO TOW TO THEIR REPAIR SHOP. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THIS REPAIR BILL. *TR
