Windstar 6-cyl

  • 153,000 miles
Have been hearing a noise from the rear of the vehicle for awhile. Had it in to the dealer for two recall repairs. The noise changed yesterday and when the rear was inspected again before leaving for work, I found the drivers side rear coil spring broken. This issued should have been addressed when the rear axle recall work was completed. I drive 50 highway miles each way to and from work and this is dangerous. Missed work today and don't know when this will be able to be fixed. I see Ford has had many problems with other coil springs. Why have they not addressed it with all the other suspension problems on these 2000 Ford Windstar?
