Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND I HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THAT THE SPRING HAD BROKEN AND RIPPED MY TIRE. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE'S CAR TWICE. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH SPACE TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON AND PULL IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I AM GOING TO CALL THE DEALER TOMORROW AND WORK ON GETTING IT FIXED. I DON'T THINK THAT THERE IS A RECALL YET ON THIS YEAR, ALTHOUGH THERE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE. I'M JUST THANKFUL WE CHOSE NOT TO TAKE IT ON OUR FLORIDA TRIP, WHO KNOWS WHERE WE WOULD'VE BEEN STRANDED OR IF WE WOULD'VE GOTTEN INTO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
