I had a 2000 Ford Taurus, and on April 30, 2004 I was driving out of my
driveway, and my drivers side front spring broke. It slice the tire and I
had no control of the car. I just received a recall letter from the Ford
Motor Company in August 2004. Checking this website I found out this was a
very common thing in Ford Taurus. Why did Ford not notify purchasers of
this very common problem. If I would have been driving on any road, even
driving 35 mph, I probably wouldnt be wringing this. Why would Ford not
notify anybody sooner of this critical problem. Since then I got rid of
the car. I would like some answers from the Ford motor company, as I am
sure so many others would.

Seems like you just did, when you were notified of
the recall.

I had a '91 Tarus...and received at least 5 notifications of the front spring
problem. This even though the problem was believed to be limited to "road salt"
areas of the country...which I'm not in. So if you didn't receive notification
of the breaking spring issue, it probably isn't because Ford didn't try.
Oh...and the issue was all over the NTSB recall web site beginning in about
1996 or 1997.
