“1999 Ford taurus rear strut springs broken. Both rear strut springs have broke on the car. I was told this can cause tire failure if spring punctures tire. I did not know of the problem until had the car evaluated by service station. $500 to fix it, haven't fix it yet, and therefore car is currently not being driven as it is not safe to drive.”
