Consumer Description

LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING BROKE AFTER RIDING OVER A MANHOLE COVER AT LOW SPEED. THE VEHICLE MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND IT WAS PARKED IN THE NEAREST PARKING GARAGE. THE DAMAGED TIRED HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH THE SPARE TO MOVE THE CAR BACK OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE TO BE TOWED. THIS TIRE WAS ALSO DAMAGED (HOWEVER, THE DAMAGE WAS LESS SEVERE). THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE COIL SPRING CLEAVED UNDER THE RUBBER SHIELDING AND DAMAGED THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TIRE WOULD HAVE PUNCTURED AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY INJURY/DEATH. *NM
