Consumer Description

HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS. I WENT TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN I HEARD A POP. AND MY LEFT FRONT TIRE FLAT. MY COIL SPRING BROKE WHICH PROCEEDED TO TEAR MY TIRE AND BROKE MY SWAY BAR IN THE PROCESS. THIS COULD OF CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I WAS ON THE ROAD DRIVING. I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL PARTS FOR BOTH SIDES AND TIRES. I HAVE READ SOME OF THE OTHER REPORTS ON THE SAME SUBJECT. AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS. I ALSO IN JANUARY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR END SUSPENSION TOO. THE COIL SPRINGS WERE BROKEN TOO. *TR
