Consumer Description

ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND MY FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING SNAPPED IN HALF AND DESTROYED THE TIRE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED AND REPAIRED AT A SHOP. WITH COST OF NEW TIRE IT WAS NEARLY 400 DOLLARS. JUST A FEW DAYS AGO NOW I HAD MY CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND WENT TO MOVE SOME BOXES AND NOTICED A PIECE OF COIL LAYING UNDER MY CAR BY THE BACK RIGHT TIRE. THIS COIL HAS SNAPPED AS WELL WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE. I WAS LUCKY TO NOTICE IT THIS TIME BEFORE I DROVE OFF. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS. THERE IS NO REASON THE COIL SPRINGS SHOULD BE RANDOMLY BREAKING LIKE THIS. *TR
