Consumer Description

I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN I HIT A SMALL POT HOLE IN THE ROAD. SOON AFTER I BEGAN TO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I WOULD TAKE TURNS. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS HAD SHATTERED. AFTER HAVING THESE FIXED AS THEY WERE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BY THE MANUFACTURER I AM TOLD THAT COINCIDENTLY I HAVE NEW FRONT SUSPENSION AND ABS ISSUES WHICH THOUGH MOST LIKELY WERE CAUSED BY THE COIL STRING MALFUNCTION WILL NOT BE COVERED AS SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE AND I AM ON MY OWN. HAD THE DAMAGE TO THE COIL SPRING NOT OCCURRED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THE ABS OR FRONT SUSPENSION. *JB
