| 2001 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS | DT: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING CORRECTLY. THE DRIVER NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE DRIVER HEARD A HISSING, SOUND, AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, ALTHOUGH TIRE WAS NOT FLAT, THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE COIL SPRING BROKE AND SLASHED THE TIRE. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT A NEW COIL SPRING AND TIRE WOULD BE NEEDED AND TO COME BACK NEXT MONDAY. THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY A PERSONAL MECHANIC. THE CONSUMER CALLED FORD, BUT THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS ONLY A RECALL ON THE FRONT COIL SPRING AND WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ABOUT THE REAR COIL SPRING PROBLEM. *AK *SC *JB |
