Front coil springs snapped, had to replaced with reading spring works, they had to send the specks to chicago. My ford aero star 4 wheel drive & 4.0 v6 is not available from after market. The only option is to buy new or used ford springs which are made in china. The local ford dealer admits replacing coil & leaf springs on several models. Midas was so busy replacing ford springs, they could not set up an appointment to install springs even if I had the springs.

The seams in the steering wheel ooze black goo and form dime sized pools around the inside center where the airbag is packed ...the dealer said just buy a cover but it continues to leak as a new steering wheel would be very costly due to airbag, I worry if airbag will deploy correctly in a crash.

The accessories in my dash and steering column are shorting out, and I saw that there was a recall on that. The problem is that the recall does not include when my van was made. I don't care why I just want to be able to drive my kids to school and back and not have my van catch on fire. We have been through that already with a different vehicle. Also, the fuel pump is acting up andi was told it seems as though it is shorting out!. Again not the right month but I have the same problems so the way I see it is that ford messed up and should fix the problem, period. I plan to continue to follow this and to right to my local government. The safety of my family should not be determined as to how loudly people complain, it seems as though the vehicles that are covered were the greatest risk to the company.
