Ford Excursion Production Ends

Feds Probing Spring and Turn-Signal Problems
The National Highway Transportation Safety Agency (NHTSA) is
investigating reports of rear coil spring failures that reportedly can
cut the rear tires of some models of the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.
In a separate action, NHTSA said it opened a preliminary investigation
into potential turn-signal malfunctions in three General Motors lines:
2002 Chevrolet Malibu, Oldsmobile Alero and Pontiac Grand Am.
