Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND A LOUD "THUMP" UNDER MY CAR SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I LOOKED BACK AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY, HEARD A "CLANG" UNDER THE AS I DECELERATED FROM 20 MPH. I STOPPED AND FOUND A PIECE OF MY RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING IN THE ROADWAY. THE ENTIRE BOTTOM COIL OF THE SPRING HAD SNAPPED RIGHT THROUGH THE METAL AND FALLEN OFF THE CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND COIL SPRING ON MY CAR THAT HAS DONE THIS. THE LEFT SPRING SNAPPED THE SAME WAY, ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE MANUFACTURER MUST HAVE USED BAD METAL FOR THE SPRINGS, AND THEY COULD KEEP SNAPPING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WAS DANGEROUS WHEN THE FIRST SPRING SNAPPED, BUT IF BOTH SPRINGS SNAP ON THE SAME CAR, THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. *TR
