Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON SMOOTH SURFACE- HEARD A SUDDEN LOUD SOUND AS IF SOMETHING LARGE DROPPED ON THE ROAD. CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE NORMALLY EXCEPT WITH A LOUD CLUNKY SOUNDS HEARD OVER BUMPS. LESS THAN 5-MILES LATER, WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE GARAGE- I RECOVERED A PIECE OF THE SPRING COIL WHICH DROPPED: THE DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN/FAILED INSTANTANEOUSLY. THIS UNCOMMON PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE COMMON WITH XC70 OWNERS- AND COULD RESULT IN POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR
