Consumer Description

2004 SAAB 93 ARC 63,000 MILES. BROKEN COIL SPRING. I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN I FELT A LARGE THUMP. MY STEERING WENT ERRATIC AND HEARD GRINDING NOISES. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. CAR WAS TOWED. THE CAUSE AND DAMAGE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BROKEN COIL SPRING WHICH CHAIN REACTED AND CAUSED THE FRONT STRUT TO BREAK, AND BEND THE STABILIZER BAR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN 03-05 SAAB 9-3 (LISTED WITH NHTSA AS WELL AS OTHER SOURCES) IT IS NOT RECALLED AND SAAB HAS YET TO DETERMINE IF THEY WILL FIX THIS AS A COURTESY. BILL, $1200. *TR
