Rear coil springs broken on both sides. Poor design. I was told there is a recall on this, but I do not see it. This is unsafe, because it will throw the car as it goes over a bump. It can also push up into the trunk, if not fixed. Very, very dangerous.

ABS braking light appears on the dashboard. The mechanic from the dealership told the consumer that the module had to be replaced. The consumer feels that Ford should be responsible for this part.
