My 2001 Ford Windstar's passenger side front coil spring broke and slashed my tire at 75K miles. Cost of new tire was 72. The cost of the tow truck was 85. The cost of the repair is yet to be determined. In excess of 157 repair bill. A documented problem with Ford coil springs resulting in unsafe driving condition of family vehicle.

I was driving my 2003 Ford Taurus at 30 mph and the driver's side coil spring fragmented. I was able to bring the car to a safe stop, but fragments of the spring went everywhere. While the car has 140,000 miles on it, springs should not break like that.

1400 worth of repairs - the spring fragments took out the strut and sway bar, as well as the left CV joint. The right side coil needed to be replaced for safety. I was told that if this had happened at highway speed, the results would have been far worse.

I own a 2000 Mercury Sable LS with 152,000 (highway) miles on it. Recently I replaced both front springs because one busted (luckily I was pulling out of a driveway and not driving down the highway). The other one was replaced under the recall that Ford sent out. Now I have discovered that the rear springs are also about to bust and it's going to cost approximately 500 to fix them. From what I have read, this is, and has been, a problem for a very long time.

WHY AREN'T THEY RECALLING THE REAR SPRINGS TOO? Does it take proof by a death by spring exploding on Ford vehicle on the front page of a newspaper for the consumer to get what is rightfully theirs, which is replacing ALL FOUR SPRINGS at no cost. Afterall, Ford made the cars, shouldn't they stand behind them.

500 out of my pocket that I, as a single mother, cannot afford. Possible injury or death if driving down the road and spring explodes, as it has done in many other instances!
