Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND MY COIL SPRING ON MY 1998 FORD TAURUS WENT THREW MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS, JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE I WAS DRIVING TO SYRACUSE AND GOING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY, I WOULD HAVE MORE THEN LIKELY DIED DUE TO THIS. NOW FORD KNOWS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE COILS IN THERE CARS BUT YET HAS DONE LITTLE TO FIX IT OR HELP PEOPLE. NOW I AM OUT 600 PLUS DOLLARS BECAUSE I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRE AND PAY FOR A WHOLE NEW COIL SPING ASSEMBLY FOR BOTH SIDES ON THE FRONT OF MY CAR. ALL I WANT IS FOR FORD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND THESE FAULTY COIL SPINGS AND FOR ME TO GET MY MONEY BACK. *LN
