As people will find out, Ford had a major problem with Taurus coil springs failing. Mine went out while I was driving at 30mph, and I was barely able to keep the car on the road. I was about to enter the freeway - it it had happened there, I would have crashed! $1450 worth or repairs and Ford will not help me with this - my dealer said, and I quote: "The spring breaking isn't Ford's fault, it was made by another company." I'm looking to replace this lemon (because the rear springs could go out as well) Do you think I'll buy another Ford??????

had to replace the spring and all parts attached and a brand new tire that purchased a few months ago. Ford needs to do a recall. If the vehicle had been moving, it could have flipped hurting someone. Everyone is suggesting I replace all four springs, but at $400 a piece, I have to choose whether to take a chance or not.

Driver's side coil spring broke while backing out of my driveway. The sway bar end link (plastic ) also broke and the coil spring ripped a large hole in the tire. Hopefully that's the extent of the damage. Thankfully, I wasn't out on the highway.
Having spent thousands in the last couple years on my Ford vehicles, I'm beginning to question my loyalty. The really bad thing is that it has all been because of parts that shouldn't go bad - they simply are defective but of course never Ford's fault. And then they wonder why the imports are kicking their rear.
