Rear Suspension Problems of Ford Taurus - part 2

2003 Ford Taurus. The rear suspension collapsed while the consumer was driving approximately 25 mph. The piece that broke was taken to the dealership and she was told it was a defect from the beginning. The consumer's daughter was driving the vehicle and it was totaled. There was a police report filed. Her daughter has a cut behind her neck and a hematoma on her knee. She is still having probelms with her leg. The driver's side rear tire fell over.

While driving there would be a vibration in the rear suspension. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

The rear suspension is very low in the rear, the car rides very rough, and the people at the dealership said that's normal, I have talked to a Ford dealer and he said no it's not. I tried to get it fixed and they wont do it, the car has been taken off the road, and I refuse to pay for it anymore.

Sagging of rear suspension. The first time I noticed this problem was when I took the family on a ski trip 2 months after purchase. Anytime after that I go on a trip, with 200 lbs worth of weight for the three rear passengers and three suitcases that barely weight another 200 lbs. This so called family car which I purchased for safe traveling with my family and which is advertised as a safe family car is a misnomer. Reason: the rear suspension immediately sags low with the weight I mentioned. I've taken it to two dealers three times and the service advisors states the rear suspension is normal. I've driven and owned many cars before and I never had such a problem (although I had seen that problem in the old k cars with Chrysler. ) point: in an emergency maneuver I believe it would become a dangerous situation with this condition . The car drives unstable, takes bumps really bad, and in slight highway turns over 45 mph, the car is hard to control; all due to this extra weight. Please advise me.

My complaint about the rear suspension of my vehicle is that the body frame suspends down over the rear tires causing rubbing with frame and rear tires. Also causes exhaust system to vibrate against flooring of vehicle.
