OP mercman_dup1 CEG\'er M Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 463 Long Island NY	Has anyone had a coil spring brake (covered under service program 01L013000) and had Ford pick up the cost of the tow? My spring is broke at the bottom near the seat and I�??m sure if I drive it to the dealer its going to pop out and cut the tire. It�??s going to cost me $75-$100 to have it towed to the dealer, I think it should be part of the so called �??good will�?� program (actually, I think they should have done the right thing and replaced the defective springs in the first place). Thanks Jeff have you fixed your ford lately?

I wouldnt advise driving on it. 98 CSVT Black Alpine CDA 7995 Memphis 1000D & Alpine MRV T302 2 Orion 12's HPP Rear Strut Bar

I would ALWAYS suggest taking that) '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.
