#708401July 8, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:TORSION BAR
THE TORSION BAR IS PART OF THE SUSPENSION, AND IT BROKE WHILE MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I'M WORRIED THAT IF IT BROKE WHILE IT WAS PARKED, IT COULD BREAK AGAIN WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE FORD DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO ME THAT THEY HAD CHANGED SEVERAL OTHER BROKEN TORSION BARS, IN FACT WHEN I CALLED THEM TO REPORT THE PROBLEM, THEY NEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT PART HAD FAILED. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THEY REPLACED THE TORSION BAR WITH ANOTHER EXACT SAME TORSION BAR. I HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THIS PART OR THE DEPENDABILITY OF MY $30,000.00 TRUCK.
