Consumer Description

I WAS COMING OFF WEST RT 46. I CAME TO A STOP SIGN,MADE A RIGHT AND AS I WAS DRIVING HEARD A THUMP NOISE....THEN AS I DROVE A SQUEAKING NOISE AND I PULLED OVER,LOOKED AT THE CAR ,AROUND IT AND UNDER IT AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I DROVE IT SLOWLY ABT A MILE HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I OPENED THE HOOD AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I DROVE IT TO MY MECHANIC AROUND THE CORNER AND HE TOLD ME I HAD A SPRING COIL FAILURE. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS PREVALENT IN CERTAIN MERCEDES VEHICLES AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS FAILING PART. I'M ATTEMPTING TO HAVE MERCEDES COVER SOME OF THE COSTS TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR
