Description of the problem | When i had the car in to repair a leaking radiator i was told that the rear springs of the car were broken - these were replaced along with the two rear tires which had been damaged due to the broken springs. Six months later backing out of the driveway the left front spring broke puncturing that tire - per the garage both front springs are broken and must be replaced. Since i've had the care in two different garages i've heard that this is a common problem with the ford escorts. |
