Driving home from the store and I heard a snapping sound in the front of the car I took the car to the service station they looked under the car and said it is a broken spring and it was dangerous to drive.
: the contact stated, while driving over a bump in the road, at 45 mph, the suspension failed, causing the wheel to bend on impact with the road. The bent wheel and all shocks were replaced. The dealer informed the contact of a service bulletin concerning the suspension directing the dealer to replace springs only if broken. When the manufacture was contacted, replacement springs were offered at cost.
2002 Ford Focus, 48,000 miles and I am now on my third set of tires on the front. Car suspension in front is very loose, expecially during highway driving, through small puddles of water car seems to hydro-plane, and on ice or snow. The car at times seems to be all over the road and I feel it is unsafe to drive. I have had new brakes, tires, and aliagnment, and the struts checks, and the rpoblem still exists and seems to be getting worse. Please advise.
