WHILE HAVING THE TIRES BALANCED, THE DEALERSHIP NOTICED THE FRONT COIL SPRING HAD BROKE AND COULD PUNCTURE THE TIRES IF THEY WEREN'T REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL 04V332000 ON THIS ISSUE BUT WAS FOR LATER MODEL YEARS. *JB

AFTER FORD RECALL REPLACED HEAD GASKET DUE TO LEAKING COOLANT INTO FRONT 3 CYLINDERS OF 3.8 ENGINE, ENGINE STARTED USING OIL (QUART EVERY 600 MILES), CAUSING FRONT PLUGS TO FOUL AND BAD ENGINE PERFORMANCE. PLUGS MUST BE REPLACED EVERY 5000 MILES TO KEEP ENGINE PERFORMANCE EVEN BARELY ADEQUATE. FORD DEALERSHIP DENIES FAULT. ALL I KNOW IS THAT SOMETHING WENT WRONG AFTER GASKET WAS REPLACED. CAR NOW HAS 64000 MILES. FORD= FIX OR REPAIR DAILY.*AK

I HAVE A 1995 FORD TAURUS , LAST YEAR THE REAR COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND MADE THE CAR SEEM LIKE IT HIT SOMETHING . I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL BUT IT DID MAKE THE CCAR SWERVE . THIS WAS EITHER THROUGH MY ACTION OR THE ACTION OF THE COIL SPRING BREAKING. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE DRIVERS FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE , THIS MADE THE CAR SUDDENDLY PULL TO THE LEFT . I TELL MYSELF I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT TRAVELLING AT A HIGHER SPEED. I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT IT PULLED THE CAR ENOUGH I WENT INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE. BEING THIS WAS THE SECOND COIL SPRING THAT FAILED I LOOKED AT THE OTHER 2 AND DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN ALSO . IT WAS BROKEN NEAR THE TOP ON THE LAST SPIRIAL AND DID NOT MAKE THE CAR DROP DOWN MUCH . SO I GUESS THERE COULD BE MANY CARS LIKE THIS WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE THE SPRING IS EVEN BROKEN. ALSO IN NOVEMBER OF 2003 I HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS TO THE THE CRADLE BUSHING REPLACED FOR THE REAR SUBFRAME . THIS TIME I JUST WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN IT BROKE AND DID NOT LOSE CONTROL BUT IT MADE THE CAR PULL / STEER TO THE RIGHT . I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS WAS A RECALL ON CERTIN VEHICLES BUT NOT ON MINE .

ENGINE IS OVER HEATING. MANUFACTURER IS CONDUCTING A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT INCLUDING THE COOLING FAN. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE VIN, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *NM
