2000 Ford Taurus Tires Problems

“I have a 2000 Ford Taurus wagon that my spring snapped and sitting on top of my tire. Read that there was a recall, however it is saying it would have had to happen before 2005. I feel it should still be covered by Ford and I am a single mother of 3 and my income is limited. Paying between $600 and $1500 to have repaired is not available to me.”

“2 months ago advised by walmart that tires were dry rotting. 3 weeks ago took car in to mechanic and was advised tire was separating and that all 4 tires needed replacing due to age and dry rot. Went back to sam's club because I still had about 40% left on my warranty. They only would cover the one separating and refused to do anything about the other 3 tires. Today, driving down the freeway, the tread peeled off the tire damaging my car but luckily no accident. Also found out the tire was manufactured over one year before I purchased it. …”

This is just as bad as the toyota's problem. I had to paid to get the car repaired. In fact it is in the shop now getting new rear springs put on it. There is only 67,000 miles on the car.”

I went back to them and they said there was no problem. Not being able to drive the car in this condition I had to purchase two new tires,(not douglas) I now have uniroyals, the problem is gone. …”

“I own a 2000 Ford Taurus model ses and have encountered suspension problems as related to the coil springs. Two years ago the left front coil spring broke and punctured my left front tire while driving and I nearly hit a utility pole. I found out there was a recall and both left and right front coil springs were replaced by Ford dealer. Yesterday, while my car was at the body shop, they noticed that the driver's side rear coil spring was broken and it has cut a groove into the tire and will cause the same dangerous action as the front coil did two years age. …”
