problem #2

Aug 182005

Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles
I purchased a 1996 Ford tarus that had sat for a year. Upon backing it out of the driveway the front spring broke. The car dropped down onto the tire slashing it open immediately. Then I inspected the other springs only to find that another spring had a break in it also. The springs were not rusty and the car had not been abused.
