Consumer Description

THE SPRING OF THE FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLY ON MY 2002 FORD TAURUS BROKE IN HALF WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THERE WAS NO RUST OF ANY KIND AROUND IT. THE STRUT ASSEMBLY WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE FORM THE FORD FACTORY. I SAW ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR WHICH FORD ISSUED A RECALL THAT GOES UP TO 2001 MODELS. I WONDER WHY NEWER MODELS WERE NOT INCLUDED IF THE ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED. *TR
