The contact owns a 1999 Ford Taurus. The contact stated shortly after purchasing the vehicle, the dealer informed him that the front stabilizer bar was fractured and the rear stabilizer bar was missing. The dealer advised when driving in wet or icy weather a safety hazard could exist. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was approximately 185,000.
The rear suspension coil spring on my 1999 Ford Taurus sedan rusted through and failed. This caused a momentary loss of control of the car, but did not result in a crash or any damage.
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.
Exciter rims on ABS switch broke, leaving vehicle without any brakes. Contacted dealer. Consumer stated that tires wear out fast since the vehicle had no camber adjustment on rear wheels due to rear end being out of line.
