Consumer Description

1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM -- THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A COIL SPRING-OVER-STRUT FRONT SUSPENSION WITH THE SPRING ITSELF RESTING IN COMPRESSION BETWEEN TWO POLYMER ISOLATORS. THIS IS REGARDING FRACTURE OF THIS SPRING. THE FRACTURES OCCUR IN THE FIRST ACTIVE COIL ABOVE THE LOWER ISOLATOR. I HAD BOTH COILS FRACTURE. FIRST (PASSENGER FRONT AT APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILES AND THE DRIVER FRONT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 110,000 MILES). THERE APPEARS TO BE VERY LITTLE WEAR OR PITTING ON THESE COILS. COIL COATING IS IN TACT AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR THE YEAR AND MILES. THE COILS FRACTURE IN THE SAME LOCATION. THE FRACTURE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE A PUNCTURE IN THE TIRES. I AM REFERENCING AN EXISTING COMPLAINT NOTICE #PE03-031. INVESTIGATE REPORTS. *TR
