Consumer Description

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND RUPTURED THE TIRE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN CALIFORNIA AND MOVED TO NEW ENGLAND 10 YEARS AGO, SO IT HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO ROAD SALT. I CALLED FORD. THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I READ THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE 1999-2000 FORD TAURUS FOR THIS PRECISE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY POSSIBLE I MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER COIL SPRINGS WHILE DRIVING AND NOT AS IN THIS OCCASION WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. MA 10/8 ....UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF *CN
