Suspension Noise problems of the 1998 Ford Taurus

The contact owns a 1998 Ford Taurus. The contact was driving in reverse approximately 2 mph while in the driveway and heard a grinding noise coming from the front end of the vehicle, followed by the front driver side collapsing to the ground. The contact inspected the vehicle and detected that the front driver side coil spring fractured. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact experienced the similar defect as mentioned in the recall on the 1999-2001 models under the NHTSA campaign id number 04v332000 (suspension:front:springs:coil springs). The failure mileage was 80,450.

While backing out of my driveway, I heard a grinding noise. I got out to investigate nothing was blocking the tires. I then pulled the car forward and heard a bang. The right front tire blew out due to the front suspension (spring). When the tow truck came (aaa) he said he has seen "many" Taurus' that this happens to. I am glad I was not on the interstate when this happened. . .
