Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN I HEARD A LARGE CLUNK IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS JUST ME HITTING A BRANCH. THE SOUND CONTINUED, BUT I WASN'T THAT FAR FROM WORK SO I KEPT DRIVING. MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE SEVERELY AND I HAD TO FIGHT TO KEEP THE STEERING STRAIGHT, SO I IMMEDIATELY WENT AND PULLED OVER AT A GAS STATION WHERE I DISCOVERED A SEVERE FLAT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE CAR REPAIR SHOP, WHERE I WORK, TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED. THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE REAR COIL SPRING HAD PUNCTURED AND DUG A GOUGE ALONG A THIRD OF THE TIRE. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO SEE HOW BADLY THE TIRE WAS DAMAGED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND WONDER WHY SOMEONE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
