I purchased a used Ford Taurus with 12,000 miles on it with a Ford warranty up to 75,000 miles and sure enough after the warranty expired at 76,300 a spring broke in the engine. I took it to my independent mechanic and they gave me an estimate of $2,600 to repair it and advised me not to drive it. In desperation I called the closest Ford house which was Bob Tomes in McKinney, TX and they said they would have to look at it before giving me an estimate. I had to hire a wrecker to haul it there and they confirmed the problem and had a similar quote but offered to call Ford and see what they would do anything. They called me back and offered to fix it for $500 and Ford covered the remainder of the cost.
