Consumer Description

UPON BACKING MY 2002 FORD TAURUS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, MY BOYFRIEND HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND DISCOVERED THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT. UPON TAKING OFF THE TIRE, HE DISCOVERED THE SPRING COIL BROKE AND PUNCTURED A HOLE IN THE TIRE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SPRING COIL AND TIRE. *LN
