What Owners Say
"Car is seldom driven, mostly for very short errands around town. We had not noticed any problem driving it, but we asked the Ford dealer -- a 45-minute drive away on the highway -- to do the 100,000 multi-point inspection early. (It might be another several *years* before we reach 100,000 miles!). During the inspection, they discovered both front coil springs were broken. We replaced them."

"The front control arms failed which caused alignment issues. This resulted in blowing a tire due to uneven wear. I was able to drive the car to a mechanic for repair on a spare tire."
