Consumer Description

24 JUNE 2011, GOT IN TO MY 2004 VOLVO XC70, APPX 90000 MILES ON GERMAN ROADS, TO DRIVE OFF TO WORK IN THE MORNING. HEARD LOUD SCREECHING NOISE NEAR THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL WHEN I PLACED THE CAR ON DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I HAVE A SEVERE AIR LEAK IN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. JUST A DAY PRIOR, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN THROUGH THE DAY WITHOUT ANY SYMPTOMS OF PROBLEM AND PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN I PULLED THE TIRE OFF, I FOUND THE SPRING SNAPPED IN TWO PIECES WITH SHARP ENDS. GOOD THING THIS DID NOT HAPPENED ON THE AUTOBAHN. WE COULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER AMERICAN SOLDIER OR FAMILY ON THE FRONT PAGE OF GERMAN AND AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS AND DIGITAL MEDIA. *TR
