Consumer Description

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO INSPECT WHAT HAPPENED, I NOTICED A BROKEN STRUT COIL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE WHEN I VISITED SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS, IT SEAMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SAABS, AND IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IS CURRENTLY AWAITING REPAIR. THE DAMAGED PART IS AVAILABLE. AUTOMOBILE IS A 2005 SAAB 9-3 CONVERTIBLE ARC. *TR
