Consumer Description

FRONT COIL SPRING ON CAR HAS RUSTED THROUGH WHICH IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2003-2006 SAABS, AND GM HAS PROVIDED A EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, FOR 2007 THEY HAVE NOT. (I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WHERE THE SPRINGS HAVE BROKEN.) WHILE I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, WHEN THE SPRING BROKE, IT CAUSED A DRIVABILITY ISSUE. AFTER SEARCHING SAAB FORUMS FOR ANSWERS, IT IS APPARENT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. PLEASE REVIEW FOR POSSIBLE ACTION. THIS SEEMS TO ME A JUST A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AS THE SUSPENSION LOSES 1-2" IN HEIGHT EFFECTING BRAKING DISTANCE, AND IF ON A ROUGH ROAD WHEN THIS COULD HAPPEN DAMAGE TO CAR AND THE PEOPLE INSIDE. *TR
