Consumer Description

COIL SPRINGS BREAKING ON 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU. I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE ONE MORNING LAST YEAR WHEN I HEARD A LARGE BANG. FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND WAS RUBBING UP AGAINST THE TIRE. REPLACED IT WITH A USED STRUT. LAST WEEK FOUND A BROKEN SPRING IN THE REAR WHILE ROTATING TIRES. I WENT ON-LINE AND DID A SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE AND WHAT IS SCARY IS THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO SOME WHILE DRIVING, WHICH IMMEDIATELY BLOWS OUT THE TIRE. CONTACTED A FRIEND OF MINE THAT IS A GM SERVICE MANAGER, HE HAD JUST GONE THROUGH THIS PROBLEM WITH HIS NEPHEWS 1998 CAR. HE TOLD ME THAT GM HAD NO RECALLS ON THIS. THIS IS MY SONS CAR AND I DON'T WANT HIM TO BECOME A STATISTIC, TO RESOLVE IT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
