2002 MERCURY SABLE Complaints

2002 MERCURY SABLE WITH 60,000 MILES AND ALWAYS GARAGED. REAR SPRING BROKE ON SMOOTH CITY STREET PUNCTURING AND SHREDDING TIRE CAUSING VIOLENT JERK AND SLIDING OF REAR OF VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND FRONT SPRINGS ARE COVERED UNDER RECALL 04V332000 BUT FORD CLAIMS THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE REAR. IF IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT SPRINGS ARE DEFECTIVE WHY DOES FRONT VERSUS REAR MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? *TR

6/16/10 FRONT SPRINGS; COIL SPRINGS BROKE CAUSING DAMAGE AND LOSE TO A 5 MONTH OLD TIRE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING FRONT COIL SPRING AND PURCHASING A NEW TIRE AS THIS JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
