My coil spring on the right side (rear) broken. Ford has a recall for the front coil spring. I took it to the Ford dealership and they said that there wasn't nothing they could do about it because they can only fix the front coil spring if it was broken then they will have to fix all of them. But since it was my back that had broken they can't do nothing about it and that it is a general maintaince problem that I have to fix. I took my car to 4 different repais shops and they said the rear coil spring broken is common in these types of cars.
