THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SPRING COIL BROKE CAUSING A LARGE GASH IN THE TIRE AND INSTANT DEFLATION. HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TIRE SEEMED TO EXPLODE WITH A LOUD SOUND AND DEBRIS. I UNDERSTAND THAT EARLIER MODELS OF THE FORD TAURUS HAVE BEEN RECALLED (BREAKING COIL SPRINGS RECALL NO. 04V332000) AND FIXED BUT THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO NEWER MODELS. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, THE DANGER STILL EXISTS AND THE COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *TR
