Consumer Description

PULLED OUT OF GARAGE AND HEARD A LOUD POP. FRONT STRUT BROKE PUNCTURING TIRE ON DRIVERS SIDE. WE JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3 WKS AGO IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 90K ON IT. VEHICLE IS IN GOOD SHAPE OTHER WISE. PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ALREADY REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE STRUT A FEW WEEKS BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT. VERY DISAPPOINTING. WAS HOPING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART. AND JUDGING BY THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SUSPENSION ISSUES, THERE CERTAINLY SHOULD BE. *TR
