Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY IN MY VEHICLE, AND AS I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT I HEARD A POPPING NOISE. BY THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, SO I GOT OUT TO CHECK. THE FRONT LEFT SPRING ON MY 2002 FORD TAURUS HAD BROKEN AND SLICED MY TIRE OPEN, CAUSING THE POPPING NOISE I HAD HEARD. AS A RESULT OF THIS, MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY, AND IT WILL COST $350 FOR A NEW TIRE, NEW SPRINGS, A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND LABOR. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY GOING 70 MPH THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR
