Front Suspension problems of the 2000 Ford Focus

The contact owns a 2000 Ford Focus. The contact stated that the vehicle was having a routine oil change performed when the technician informed the contact that the driver and passenger side coil springs had failed. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer who replaced both coil springs at the contacts expense. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer confirmed the dealers advice and would not provide any further assistance. The failure mileage was 112,964.

Spring broke on front end of car- shredded tire that isn't even a year old. Mechanic informed me he had the same year & model of car with same problem. I asked if a recall was issued he said he could not locate any.

The strut and spring of my 2000 Ford Focus broke and needed to be replaced. I was lucky that I was just in a parking lot because I would have lost control of the car at higher speeds.

My car a 2000 Ford Focus had a front spring break in (2) places causing damage to the strut and the car was not safe to drive. I took it to a local goodyear store and had both springs and struts replaced along with a front end alignment. The cost was $800 for all. I have saved the springs to return for examination. Both springs have a sleeve on them about (6)inches at the top and bottom. The area around the sleeve has collected dirt and caused corrosion (rust) to eat through the spring to the point it breaks. This could very well be a safety issue depending on how fast you were driving when it occurs. I was going 25 in a residential area when it broke. I would log to log this complaint as I am sure from looking at the defective parts that others will also be experiencing the same damage. I have owned the car for about 6 years. Please let me know how I should proceed. I can provide pictures if desired. Regards gary young.
