Description of the problem	I just read about the ford winstar front coil springs breaking in the newspaper and now that i browse this site, it appears to be a problem on many other ford cars. My 1995 escort front left spring snapped causing the left front tire to be slashed. I was in a parking lot so speed was not a factor. I managed to change the tire and get the car to a ford dealer that was nearby. Upon inspection, i could see that the spring had snapped (clean break) like if a seam in the coil had failed. When i questioned the dealer, they did not know of this being a common occurrence and they would not fix it without charge as there was no recall. Now that i see that this appears to happen on many ford cars. ....... I have reason to believe that the coil springs on fords may have hidden defects causing them to snap without warning.. Should you need further information, please email me. Thanks. *ak
