(reported on)Windstar 3.8L
Stepdaughter brought my POS windstar in to the dealership where she worked to have the Cam and Crank sensors worked on due to multiple check engine codes. While the tech was under the vehicle he noticed a broken coil spring that was ready to cut into the sidewall of the front tire. We were preparing for a vacation and it appeared that we were going to be stuck with a ginormous repair bill and possibly a delay to the start of our trip. The tech thought to check for a possible recall on the issue and found that the springs were in fact covered by a safety recall. Our only cost was for some incidental parts. This was a potentially deadly problem which we were totally unaware of. Thankfully we had some inside help in the matter. How many people have had tires cut down from this problem? How many people have paid full price to replace the springs because their dealer didn't check for a recall or charged it to the customer anyway? This one is scary.
