Noticed grinding/rubbing noise while driving; noise varied with speed, turning and braking. observed rubber residue in left rear wheel, on wheel well. removed wheel, discovered coil spring rusted and dislodged from lower support and was shaving the tire. loss of tread observed. coil spring was subsequently cut to remove impacting area and will be replaced. no injuries. ford has issued a recall on similar models in similar years for the front coil spring; internet reports indicate that the problem may not be limited to the parts already recalled by ford. the recall may need to be expanded to cover the rear springs as well. upon replacement, will keep broken part and request servicer to submit information to nhtsa as well. *tr
I was driving to work when i heard a large clunk in the back of my car. i assumed that it was just me hitting a branch. the sound continued, but i wasn't that far from work so i kept driving. my car started to shake severely and i had to fight to keep the steering straight, so i immediately went and pulled over at a gas station where i discovered a severe flat. i had my car towed to the car repair shop, where i work, to have the tire replaced. they showed me that the rear coil spring had punctured and dug a gouge along a third of the tire. it was very scary to see how badly the tire was damaged. i looked online and have seen similar complaints and wonder why someone hasn't done anything about this. *tr

I have a 2002 ford taurus and about two weeks ago i was getting into the car and sat down when i heard a loud metal pop or bang, i got out and looked around and under the car and did not see anything, but i had noticed if i ran over a slight bump in the road i would hear a clunk at the rear driverside wheel area so today i heard it again and when i got home i looked under the rear driverside wheel well and low and behold i have a broken coil spring so i am in the process of getting it replaced and i will request to have the part returned to me as proof of the problem so if and when ford does a recall on this i can be reimbursed.. *tr
