My daughter had just driven all over the state with her student teaching assignment. She was going to teach for the day when she had tire failure. She had just left from her apartment going 10 MPH and about one mile from her place. The coil spring broke jabbing into her tire and causing a blow out. We had to have the car towed and the mechanic said these mecuries and ford sables were good for this kind od a problem. Then I got on line and it sais that one point back in 95 that these kind of cars had to have guards to protect the coils from the tires. I am concerned.
When I took my 1995 mercury sable to a mechanic for an oil change, he notified me that both rear springs were broken. He showed it to me and I saw it for myself. Furthermore, one spring had worn a visible groove in the right rear tire. It was dangerous to drive my car further and it must be repaired immediately at a cost of $700. The repair is scheduled for next week and includes rear struts, rear springs and the associated mounting brackets. My mechanic says this is a defect in the steel used for the springs and is a common problem on ford products and they fix a lot of them.
