2000 ford taurus with 58, 500 miles. Vehicle was sitting in my garage, engine off. Upon sliding into the drivers seat, I heard a loud bang and the entire car shook. Nothing external evident on inspection. Took to dealer and was informed that both front springs and one rear spring were broken. Dealer replaced both front springs as part of a safety recall, and both rear springs for which I was charged $481. It was just my good luck that the failure occurred in my garage and not on the highway at highway speeds, where the spring could have ruptured a tire.
Rear coil springs are broken. Appears to be from corrosion. Front springs have had recall done to keep broken spring from getting into tire. Since the front springs, have been given an extended warranty, the rear springs should be covered to.

2000 ford taurus broken rear coil spring. Consumer would like reimbursement to replace the defective rear coil spring. *kb the consumer believed the coil spring had to be defective during manufacturing from inadequate heat treating processing.
Rattling noise under the front end when driving.
Passenger side rear spring fractured, driver side is cracked and ready to fracture. No damage to the tire but I would imagine this is a direct result of living in a region where salty roads are normal everyday life and there is only a recall on the front springs so I guess I am out the 500.00 it going to cost to fix it.
Rear coil spring broke causing tire failure.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 ford taurus. While making a right turn at an unknown speed, the contact heard a loud noise coming from the front driver side of the vehicle. The front driver side tire failed. The following day, the vehicle drove abnormally and was towed to a mechanic. The diagnosis was that the coil spring failed and blew out the tire. The repair was made. The contact discovered the federal safety agency campaign id number 04v332000 (suspension:front:springs:coil springs). The dealer stated that because she did not take the vehicle to a ford dealer for the repair, they were not responsible. The current and failure mileages were 74,000.
Broken rear coil spring puncturing tire.
When I took my car to the shop they also discovered that my right rear spring was completely broken. I have seen that this has been a constant problem for other owners as well!!!! I know that there was also an investigation done but no recall. There was a recall on the front springs (which I have already had a problem with!) and I am concerned that the rear springs have not been recalled. I have seen more complaints about the rear spring than the front. I'm just glad I noticed it before it had a chance to cause a blow out of the tire. I drive 65mph to work and the thought that it could have caused a very serious accident unnerves me. I'm very aggravated that ford has done nothing to fix this problem. Until now I have always had a good experience with ford vehicles but at this point, I'm not sure that I would ever buy another.
On nov. 5,2007 at approx. I had my oil changed and tires rotated at monroe. When they discovered that my right side rear spring was broken. Is this a manufacture defect? And if so how do I get re- imburse ?thank you della donato
2000 ford taurus with a broken left front spring. Consumer was told that he would be reimbursed for the cost of the repairs because the repairs were covered under his extended warranty. *kb the consumer was denied reimbursement because the repairs were not done at a ford dealership.
I pulled into my driveway after work and was going to park my car when I heard this crunch sound. I then noticed that the car was sitting lopsided on the rear passenger side and since then the car has been making crunching sounds. The dash lights also went out along w/the heater. It no longer blows cold air it is always hot air and the temperature is at its lowest. This all started w/a vacuum leak. The passenger side seat belt also retracted slow and now it doesn't even retract. This car seems to have one problem after another and all at once. I bought this car for my daughter cuz I wanted her to have a safe vehicle to drive for college, but it doesn't seem to be turning out that way. She is now driving my car because I don't want to have to worry about her on the road.

No noticeable sagging of vehicle. Tech's ground down the springs cutting edge and mounted spare. Labor day weekend unable to have repaired until after holiday.

The left rear spring on my 2000 ford taurus is broken. In looking on the internet, I see that there have been a number of complaints about rear spring failure on these cars. I don't know the exact date it happened, I know the car has had a rattling noise for about a year, and I never could find it. I just discovered yesterday that the spring was broken, and is apparently letting the rear of the car sag just enough that the tail pipe is apparently rattling when there is an additional load on the back.
Right rear spring in 2000 ford taurus is broken. This causes dangerous condition.
I went in for a routine oil change and it was time to rotate my tires. I asked them to rotate and they notified me I had a broken rear left coil spring and that they recommend change both coil springs and struts for a cost of $830 cdn parts, labor. I was surprised having owned a handful of vehicles never once had a coil spring break. The puzzling part is I rarely carry any passengers in the rear. For now I guess I am fortunate to catch it before it blows a tire while on the highway like indicated by others. I need to address this soon. I was looking for ford to cover the cost of this premature part failure.
