#714353November 5, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE FRONT SPRING BROKE WHILE GOING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THE CAR WAS COMPLETLY UNDRIVABLE AND IF IT WAS GOING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED COULD HAVE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENED 113 MILES AFTER THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERS FOR A RECALL THAT REPLACED THE SUB FRAME MOUNTS FOR THE PART THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT WHILE MAKING REPAIRS THEY CRACKED THE SPRING, OR THAT SPRINGS ARE MADE OF SUB STANDARD MATERAL.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS PROBLEM HAD ONLY OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY WHEN IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ETC. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STALLED. WE MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE CAR STALLS, THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING QUITS ALSO. IT WAS 104 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND SPENDING 1-1/2 HOURS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A FOUR YEAR OLD WITHOUT ANYTHING TO DRINK WAS HORRIBLE, SHE COULD HAVE DEHYDRATED VERY EASILY. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, SENT OUT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS (TSBR #96-7-5) ABOUT IT, I GUESS IT IS GOING TO TAKE HAVING PEOPLE KILLED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF AUTOMOBILES THAT ARE INVOLVED: 89-95 FORD TAURUS, 89-94 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL, AND 89-95 MERCURY SABLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS ENOUGH VEHICLES PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER THAT THEY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.*AK
