Consumer Description

DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING BROKE AND CUT INTO TIRE DEFLATING IT. SMOKE FROM WHEEL-WELL BACKED UP TRAFFIC - LIMPED TO A SIDE STREET ON FLAT TIRE. REPLACED COIL SPRING AND TIRE. REALLY WORRIED ABOUT SERIOUS ACCIDENT SHOULD OTHER SPRING BREAK ON HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ITEM ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE ARE THE SAME COIL SPRINGS AS ON THE '01 MODEL FOR WHICH THERE WAS A RECALL. *TR
