#705032March 28, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SPRING CRACKED, AND PUT A HOLE IN THE TIR, CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE. I WAS PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. WHAT WOULD HAVE THIS BEEN LIKE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED SATURDAY ON THE WAY BACK FROM BALTIMORE AT 65 OR 70 MPH? BOTH SPRINGS WERE REPLACED AT FORD'S EXPENSE LAST YEAR WHEN BOTH WERE BROKEN. THESE ARE FORD REPLACEMENT PARTS, I THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM. I HAD MY WIFE, SON-IN-LAW, AND MY TWO GRANCHILDREN IN MY CAR THIS AFTERNOON ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH. I AM CALLING FORD TOMORROW (MONDAY) ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND PROBABLY WON'T BE TO NICE. THANK YOU AND PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *AK
