Consumer Description

I HAD A RECALL PERFORMED 2 YEARS AGO FOR THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS. THE DRIVER SIDE SPRING HAS BROKEN AND IS CUTTING INTO THE TIRE. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON 01/16/09 AND OK. IT WAS PARKED ON THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL 01/18/09 WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE, I HEARD A SCRAPING SOUND WHICH I THOUGHT WAS ICE AND SNOW IN THE WHEEL WELL. I DROVE APROX. A HALF BLOCK STOPPED AND LOOKED AND THE WHEEL WELLS WERE CLEAR, I THEN DROVE THE CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE TIRE AND A GROVE BEING CUT INTO THE TIRE. THE COIL SPRING IS PRESSING INTO THE TIRE. *TR
