Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 24, 2008 MY 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU WAS DRIVEN LESS THAN A MILE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE. ON AUGUST 25, 2008 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BOB SUMEREL TIRE CO. FOR REPAIR. THE SPRING APPEARED TO HAVE BROKEN AT THE TOP FIRST RING. THE SPRING WAS REPLACED. I HAVE THE REMAINDER OF THE BROKEN SPRING. THE TOP PART THAT BROKE OFF HAS BEEN LOST. I NOTICED THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OTHER REPORTED INSTANCES OF THIS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE AND ACCIDENTAL INJURY. *TR
