2002 FORD TAURUS LEFT FRONT COIL SNAPPED, WRAPPED AROUND THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BROKE THE SWAY BAR LINK AND PUNCTURED THE LEFT FRONT TIRE GETTING EMBEDDED IN THE TIRE SO AS TO MAKE THE WHEEL IMMOVABLE. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT THE TIME, HOWEVER, A MOMENT LATER AND I'M CERTAIN SOMEONE (MY HUSBAND) WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR PERHAPS SEVERAL PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE BEEN INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. HE COULDN'T FREE THE TIRE FROM THE COIL AND HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW. IT COULDN'T BE TOWED; SO THEY SENT FOR A FLAT BED TO TRANSPORT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE BUSTED PARTS AFTER WE HAD EVERYTHING REPLACE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT COILS AND STRUT ASSEMBLIES AND SWAY BAR LINKS AND LEFT FRONT TIRE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 1999, 2000, AND...
2002 FORD TAURUS FRONT AND REAR SPRINGS AND STRUTS WERE DEFECTIVE. DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SPRING FAILED, CAUSING A BLOW OUT.*AK
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE REVERSING IN THE DRIVEWAY, AN EXPLOSION WAS HEARD AND THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, WHO DETERMINED THE STRUT HAD FRACTURED AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. THE FRONT STRUTS WERE REPLACED.
WHILE EXITING THE DRIVEWAY, FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WENT FLAT ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP (VIA FLATBED TRUCK) THAT FOUND THE COIL SPRING & STRUT FOR THAT LOCATION & THE RIGHT REAR COIL SPRING HAD FRACTURED. THE BROKEN FRONT SPRING RIPPED THROUGH THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. BOTH SPRINGS WERE REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE STRUT & TIRE. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, #04V332000 REGARDING THE FRONT SPRINGS; HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO IT'S VIN. *NM
