Jill of Ontario NY (01/29/08) My 2001 Ford Taurus SES snapped its front passenger side coil while I was turning into a busy major highway. I was with my husband & neighbor & we all heard a giant SNAP. I took it into my local mechanic who advised me that the spring coil & broken & that it was a common problem in the Ford Taurus. My mechanic advised that a protective shield device had been installed on my car or else the tire would have been punctured. He quoted about 570 to replace both springs.

John of Rockfrod IL (01/19/08) The rear suspension coil broke off at its base and gouged out my wife's tire as she was driving. It's unfortunate that Ford never recalled this piece. It would have been nice to know that we were buying a car that could have potentially killed us.
