Consumer Description

THE RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING ON OUR 1999 CHEVY MALIBU BROKE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. THE STRUT ASSEMBLY DROPPED & PUNCTURED THE NEW TIRE WE HAD GOTTEN LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE & HAD TO BE TOWED & REPAIRED. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE & FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBUS, WHILE CHEVROLET HAS NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HAVING DEFECTIVE PARTS. THIS IS DANGEROUS & SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED BY THE DEFECTS. WE STILL HAVE THE BROKEN COIL SPRING WITH THE PART NUMBER ON IT. WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, THE NEW TIRE THAT WAS RUINED & THE MENTAL ANGUISH OF HAVING COME SO CLOSE TO A POSSIBLY FATAL ACCIDENT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE DEFECTIVE PARTS WILL BE RECALLED & REPLACED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE? *TR
