Consumer Description

AFTER NOTICING AN INCREASINGLY LOUD SUSPENSION CLUNK COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE SAAB DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT SPRING WAS SNAPPED AND BOTH FRONT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THE CAR WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON THE WEB I HAVE FOUND THERE ARE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SPRINGS FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL, I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE AND FAILURE AT HIGH SPEED AS SOME OTHERS HAVE. I FIND THIS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT THE SPRINGS ARE ROTTING AND SNAPPING AFTER ONLY A FEW YEARS. I LIVE IN THE SNOW BELT THAT IS NOTED IN THE ALREADY OPEN INVESTIGATION. ACTION# PE08052 AND EA08026. *TR
