Consumer Description

BACKED THE SABLE TO THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY, WAS MOVING VERY SLOWLY, WHEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD UNDER THE CAR. UPON INSPECTION, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN AND A JAGGED EDGE OF THE BROKEN COIL SPRING PUNCTURED THE TIRE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE SPRING FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS CAR AND THE SIMILAR FORD TAURUS. *TR
