Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 SAAB 9-3 LINEAR AND WAS DRIVING NEAR MY HOUSE AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. I DROVE THE CAR HOME A BLOCK AND TOOK THE WHEEL OFF TO FIND A PIECE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION COIL SPRING SNAPPED OFF AND THE REMAINDER WAS RUBBING AGAINST MY TIRE. LUCKILY NO HARM WAS DONE TO MYSELF OR TIRE BUT IT COULD HAVE OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NOT AS GOOD RESULTS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR NOT ONLY IN THE US BUT SAME THING IN EUROPE. I WILL HAVE TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND GET THE COIL REPLACED. *TR
