Consumer Description

FRONT COIL SPRING FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, COIL SPRING BROKE IN TWO PLACES AND PUNCTURED THE FRONT TIRE (SPRING WENT THROUGH THE TIRE SIDEWALL). IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE CAR WOULD HAVE STEERED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT AND GONE OFF THE ROAD. OUR 2000 SABLE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE 2003 SABLE DID NOT. SEARCHING THE WEB, SPRING FAILURE AND PUNCTURE OF A FRONT TIRE HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR
