Turning into a parking lot, my rear passenger coil snapped and punctured the tire. Had to have it towed and had to have both rear coils replaced. One of the front coils snapped on 12/8. This issue has now cost me over $2,400 plus I've had to replace 4 tires that were barely a year old! I am so discouraged that the 2002 Taurus is not included in the coil recall, it is ridiculous and so expensive!

Have had the car since NEW! Car is very well cared for w/reg. maintenance, oil changes etc. and garaged. Never been in an accident. Car only has 55000 miles and is 7 yrs.old!
left rear spring broke, gouged LR tire. Had to replace both springs being a pair, not to would invite problems down the road. Dealer says rear struts are bad also, so had to replace both! Total cost for tire, coils and struts $600.00 !!!! Always been a Ford guy, but Honda or Toyota are starting to sound real good!!!!!

Driving down the interstate the rear left strut spring broke and went through the side of my tire. As a mechanic, the repair is only $100 for the springs but a shop sure would charge alot more. This could cause a severe wreck!

Ford sucks. They do not stand behind their products. In the last
six months I've dumped over $1500 into this junker and it has only 97000 miles on it. I just returned from dealer after having rear
coils springs replaced (which is a common problem with tortoises)
and now they tell me I need another $1000 worth of front end
work. Not good. Fool me once.....

This Taurus has reinforced my decision not to buy an American made care until they start standing behind their products and fixing widespread known problems with their vehicles. I WANT to buy AMerican cars - but I just can't afford the luxury of pouring money into bad products!
