Consumer Description

AS MY WIFE STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE, DRIVER'S SIDE COIL SPRING BROKE TEARING THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE AND PUNCTURING IT CAUSING A BLOWOUT. WHEN THE TIRE WAS REMOVED, I FOUND A TEAR IN THE INNER WALL APPROXIMATELY 14 INCHES LONG AND A PUNCTURE. FORTUNATELY, IT OCCURRED IN THE GARAGE, BUT HAD WE BEEN GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR, OUR MECHANIC AND THE TIRE STORE WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR
