Contact states; contact was on freeway and heard a popping or cracking noise in the front end. Tried to put into gear, made same noise. Have been in contact with dealer and there was a recall on the front spring, corrision problem. Driving 65 or 70, when incident happened.
Currently own a 2000 Ford Focus wagon with approximately 57,000 miles on it. In the last 3 months we have had 2 breakdowns that could of very easily ended tragically. 1st: 3 months ago the front driver side suspension spring sheared in half. The sharp shear of the spring went into the tire and ended ripped it apart. Thank god my wife and kids were only going 25 mph. 2nd: 1 week ago the fuel line clip attaching the fuel line to the gas tank burst into pieces in a parking lot of a local store as my wife was driving around. Again, thank god nobody was smoking nearby.
