Consumer Description

THIS WINTER I HAD MY RIGHT FRONT STRUT SPRING BREAK AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE SPRING WENT RIGHT THROUGH MY TIRE. THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION AND SCARED ME TO DEATH! MY HUSBAND GOT THE SPRING AND STRUT REPAIRED AND PURCHASED A NEW TIRE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM UNTIL I WALKED OUT TODAY AND SAT IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK. I HAD NOT TURNED THE CAR ON, OR EVEN TOUCHED THE STEERING WHEEL AND AGAIN I HEARD THE SAME LOUD NOISE AND NOW THE SPRING ON THE LEFT SIDE BROKE. I AM ALSO GOING TO CHECK THE BACK TIRES BECAUSE MY CAR SITS AT A FUNNY ANGLE AND I WOULD GUESS THE THE SPRING ON THE LEFT REAR IS ABOUT TO BREAK. *TR
