Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 FORD TAURUS. THE LEFT REAR TIRE WENT FLAT WHILE PARKED. WHILE CHANGING THE LEFT REAR TIRE, I NOTICED THAT THE COIL SPRING BOTTOM PLATE HAD FRACTURED AND LET THE SPRING HIT THE TIRE. THE SHARP POINT OF THE SPRING END PUNCTURED THE TIRE, CAUSING IT TO GO FLAT. I SAW THAT AN IDENTICAL COMPLAINT WAS ENTERED INTO THIS WEB SITE JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THIS VEHICLE MODEL MAY HAVE A TIME-BASED STRESS FAILURE IN THIS COMPONENT, SINCE THE MILEAGE IN THE OTHER COMPLAINT WAS CONSIDERABLY LOWER. *TR
