Consumer Description
THE FRONT, LEFT COIL SPRING BROKE LEAVING A JAGGED EDGE THAT SHREDDED THE TIRES SIDEWALL WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE SPRING BROKE, BUT I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY PRIOR TO PARKING THE VEHICLE. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THE TIRE THAT WAS SHREDDED WAS A NEAR NEW STUDDED SNOW TIRE. THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR THE SUSPENSION AND REPLACE THE TIRE WILL BE ABOUT 400 - 500 DOLLARS. *TR
