Have any of you Foci Fans had front springs break? Mine did yesterday on the passenger side. A loud twang and it had gone. Luckily it broke inside the bottom coil sheathing and contained itself. Took it to the dealer and they replaced both under a new extended "front coil spring breakage warranty." Good for 10 years or 120,000 KM. My car is a 2002 Zetec sedan with 56000 KM's. Beware!

^^i havent heard of anyone on here having this problem, but yea that notice was sent out along time ago, i saw it and i was like wow, so they only replace them if they break, and i was like ok, so if they break on the hwy and i total my car into a wall....hows replacing the the springs after something happened going to help any. Luckyl nothing bad happened and you didnt get into an accident.

That JUST happened to my friends zx3 the other day, it sounded horrible when he took right turns. And it was the same side, the passengers side. Apparently there was a recall on it.
