2002 Ford Focus. Consumer writes in regards to denial of reimbursement the consumer stated in may 2011, the right front spring fractured. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop where both the left and front spring/strut assemblies were replaced.

The consumer was denied reimbursement, because he did not take his vehicle to a Ford dealer for repairs.
