Consumer Description

I HAD THE REAR SUSPENSION INSPECTED BY TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES DUE TO MY CAR RIDING ROUGH. BOTH GARAGES TOLD ME THAT BOTH REAR SPRINGS ARE BROKEN WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD ESCORTS. BOTH GARAGES TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACING THE REAR SPRINGS ALL THE TIME ON THIS MODEL. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THIS DEFECT BUT HAVE FOUND NOTHING. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON OCCURRENCE I FEEL FORD SHOULD REPLACE THE SPRINGS AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY. *AK
