SUSPENSION:FRONT
THERE WAS NO FORE-WARNING OF THIS BREAK IN SUSPENSION. WITHOUT A DOUBT IF I HAD NOT JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY MY SISTER AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN A ROLLOVER!!! THE DEALER WOULD NOT TAKE A COMPLAINT TO FORD AND GAVE ME A HARD TIME ABOUT FIXING IT SINCE I DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR IN CONNECTICUT AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I PAID IN CASH, THEY WOULD NOT USE MY WARRANTY. *AK
