1 Strut Tower problem of the 1999 Ford Taurus

Failure Date: 03/11/2013

On March 11 2013 as I began to back out of my driveway my front left coil spring broke and punctured my tire. I know there is a recall from Ford number 04s17. When they ran my VIN they said there was no open recall found. After contacting 3 different mechanics they believe my car should be covered by this recall. All 3 have advised me to replace both front strut towers. The recall information listed describes exactly what happened to my car. My car need to be fixed through the recall. Thank god I was not driving down the road when this happened.
