I was driving on the interstate highway when the left front spring broke which was like an explosion. This caused lots of other damage to the car as well as the tire.

Ltr fm (pa) reporting coil spring broke in his model year 2000 Ford Lincoln Continental defective vehicle.

While driving at approx. 10 mph I heard a loud bang on the morning of 4-24-06. I came to a stop thinking I had hit something in the road. I looked around the back of the car and noticed part of the coil spring on the ground. I knew exactly what it was because the passenger side broke on 4-6-06. If at either time I would have been driving at any substantial speed it could have caused a major accident.

: the contact stated while putting air in the front driver side tire, it was noticed, the front coil springs had broken and punctured the tire. Although the manufacturer was alerted, no appointment for inspection was made. Updated 5/2/2006 -

The spring on the front driver's side broke, causing the broken end to catch the inside of the tire ripping the entire side and inhibiting steering. Had this happened at any speed while driving an terrible accident could have been caused. There was no prior incident which could have led to the spring breaking and there is no obvious superficial defect in the spring.
