2002 Ford Taurus. Both rear coil springs broke December 2009 and January 2010. . Had to have both coils and struts replaced and stabilizer bar, over $2,000. Front one broke and punctured/ruined tire February 2010, requiring a tow to dealer mechanic. Luckily the front one broke while in driveway and not while driving. Seems a bit too coincidental for 3 to break in such a short time. I don't feel safe, so had the other front one replaced before it snaps. Another over $2,000 bill.

Wife's 2002 Ford Taurus was parked in driveway when left front coil spring broke. I initially thought it was just a flat tire,but I couldn't fill it as fast as the air was leaking out. Found that the air leak was from the broken coil spring sticking into and rupturing the inner sidewall of tire. One partial coil of broken spring fell free upon removal of wheel. The remainder of the very sharp broken coil spring was,as previously mentioned,what penetrated the tire,ruining it. The broken coil spring also broke the left stabilizer bar link,which is made of plastic.

Bolt on stabilizer to right rear tire dislodged, no nut, allowing bolt to loosen and wheel to dislocate to almost completely off car while driving down the road.

Stabilizer bar in the rear wheels broke and the rear wheels were ready to come off our car. If we had not pulled off the freeway exactly when we did, everyone in our automobile would most likely have been killed. The left rear wheel started coming off approximately two blocks after we exited the freeway. The automobile went out of control, and we had to have our brand new Ford Taurus towed to our car dealership. Our dealer refused to take our car back, after our car had three safety problems, and we are now in litigation.

While driving vehicle, noticed a clunking noise coming from of vehicle. Took vehicle to dealership, they couldn;t locate the problem. Clunking noise continued.
