Both rear springs broke. The car is only 5 years old. The heaviest items ever carried were 3 bags of groceries. I received a letter from Ford Motor Company in 1999 regarding the possible failure of the front coil springs. I requested they be replaced at the time before failure and possible accident but Ford wouldnt do it. These springs must be made of bad steel. My husband is a machinist/tool and diemaker and looked at the broken springs and can tell they are cheap steel. It cost us over $400 to get the car fixed. I want to write to Ford motors regarding this matter, who do I write to, at what address
