Consumer Description

WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY LEFT FRONT TIRE ON MY 2002 TAURUS EXPLODED. MY CAR HAS UNDER 64,000 MILES ON IT AND MY TIRES WERE LESS THEN 6 MONTHS OLD. THE SPRING BROKE AND CUT THE TIRE HALF WAY AROUND. I WAS JUST STOPPING TO LOOK FOR TRAFFIC WHEN IT HAPPENED. HAD THIS HAPPENED 3 DAYS BEFORE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY GRANDCHILD. FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND RECALLED ALL CARS UP TO 2001 EVEN THOUGH THESE ARE THE SAME SPRINGS. HOW NEEDS TO DIE BEFORE THEY FIX THIS. I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE I SEE SOMEONE HAD IT HAPPEN 2 TIMES . IT MAY COST UP TO $1,000 TO REPAIR IT AND THAT IS NOT COUNTING THE TOWING AND THE NEW TIRE. *TR
