I have an 95 Contour SE with 53,000 miles. I just came back from Midas and they told me 3 out of 4 coil springs are broken. He couldn't believe 1 broke let alone 3. Never has he heard of anything like this before. Has anyone else experienced problems with their coils? Do anyone know if Ford has done anything about this.
The springs on the Contours (especially the 1995 models) are absolute garbage. I had the front ones break and 1 rear spring. The mechanic that replaced them, said he orders more replacement springs for Contours than any other car.
Mine broke at 88,000km (55,000 Miles) so it appears that your springs have expired right on schedule.
