SUSPENSION
AT APPROXIMATELY 126000 MILES FIRST OF TWO COIL SPRINGS BROKE IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. HAD BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS REPLACED. THREE WEEKS LATER WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AT WORK ONLY TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION PUMP FAIL. CAR ACTED EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE, SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, HIGH ENGINE REV AND AN INABILITY OF THE CAR TO WORK IN ANY GEAR. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS THEN TOLD THAT NOT ONLY DID THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REBUILT BUT I ALSO HAD A REAR COIL SPRING THAT NOW WAS BROKEN. HAVE PURCHASED MANY FORD VEHICLES BUT THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU LOOK AT A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. *TR
