| 2001 | SUSPENSION:REAR | BACK SPRINGS BROKE AND ALMOST PUNCTURED A TIRE. WE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE SPRINGS REPLACED ON THE REAR. IF EVERYONE WAS AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER WITH THE FRONT SPRINGS WHY WEREN'T THE BACK SPRINGS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL? I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO BECAUSE THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNFAIR TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF. MY TAURUS HAS LESS THAN 75,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M WONDERING WHAT OTHER POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO. *TR |
