| All four coil springs are broken, the car is not safe to operate,it has never been towed or towed anything. it has never been overloaded. it has never been raced or abused. i find it hard to believe that all four coil springs would fail at the same time, other than by faulty manufacturing . they must have not been heat treated properly.*ak | |||

| I received service bulletin #00m10 from ford motor company in july 2000. i was already over the allotted mileage allowed to have the head gasket repaired free of charge. i don't believe that i was notified in time to have this known failure repaired in the allotted time frame. i contacted the dealer regarding this problem 2/13/01 and they basically told me too bad. i also contacted the dealer regarding the suspension problem when it first occurred and was never notified about service bulletin #bc0962941001. they told me to bring it in for inspection that would cost $150.00. *ak | |||
