Consumer Description

COIL SPRINGS FOR THIS YEAR ARE DEFECTIVE! MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING EXPLODED AND SHOT THROUGH THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY! I HAVE PICTURES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE THE DAY BEFORE; THANK GOD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THEN! FORD TOWED THE CAR IN AND REPLACED THE TIRE AND THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS UNDER THEIR RECALL NOTICE WHICH HAD JUST COME OUT. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE REAR SPRINGS BROKE; FORD SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. R U KIDDING ME!!## I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF COIL SPRINGS FAILING EXCEPT ON BAHA RACERS OR SOMETHING JUST AS ABUSIVE. THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS AND INTERSTATE! THE COIL SPRINGS ARE DEFECTIVE! THE FORD ENGINEERS & QC WERE PENNY WISE AND POUND STUPID. GO GET THEM! *TR
