| 2001 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS | WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE LEFT REAR SPRING IN SNAPPED OFF PUNCTURING THE SIDE WALL OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE TIRE DEFLATED SUDDENLY AND MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. AFTER THE TIRE WAS CHANGED THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE WE HAD TO HAVE BOTH SPRINGS IN THE REAR REPLACED AND A NEW TIRE PUT ON AND A ALIGNMENT COSTING $507.00 TOTAL. OUR CAR IS A 2001 FORD TAURUS WITH 38000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE SECOND EXPENSIVE REPAIR THIS YEAR. IN JULY WE LOST THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ON THE POWER SEAT AND THAT COST OVER $400.00 WITH FORDS ASSISTANCE ON THE BILL. *NM |
