Consumer Description

LEFT FRONT STRUT COIL SPRING BROKE, CAUSING END OF BROKEN COIL SPRING TO SLICE OPEN TIRE, CAUSING A TIRE BLOWOUT AND SUSPENSION OF CAR DROPPING, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO FRONT TIE-ROD END AS WEIGHT OF VEHICLE FELL ON STEERING MECHANISM. SPEED AT BREAK AROUND 5 MPH AS DAUGHTER WAS PULLING AWAY FROM STOP. THIS IS DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE; AND, SHE PAID BILL FROM HER COLLEGE SAVINGS. CONSIDERING MILEAGE & AGE, I THINK FORD SHOULD AT LEAST PAY FOR 50% OF TOTAL BILL ($618). FORD CUSTOMER SERV. REP. TOLD ME THERE WAS IN FACT A RECALL, BUT MY VIN # DOESN'T QUALIFY ME FOR A REFUND. JUDGING FROM YOUR OTHER LOGGED COMPLAINTS, THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR FAULT WITH FORD'S REASONING ON WHO'S ELEGIBLE AND WHO'S NOT. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS SITE FOR THESE DEFECT INVESTIGATION AND CHECKING INTO THIS COMPLAINT.*AK
