Consumer Description

WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE LEFT FRONT SPRING COIL BROKE AND PUNCTURED MY TIRE. THERE WAS A RECALL OF 1998-2001 TAURUSES BECAUSE OF THAT DEFECTIVE PART. THOUGH OLD, THE CAR HAS FEW MILES ON IT AND RARELY DRIVEN IN THE WINTER. THE SPRING COIL LOOKED ALMOST NEW...NO RUST. OBVIOUSLY 2002'S SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I'D BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH? THE LOCAL FORD DEALER REPLACED BOTH SPRING COILS AND TIRE AT COST BUT FORD SHOULD HAVE STOOD BEHIND THIS REPAIR. *TR
