Consumer Description

WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE THERE WAS A SUDDEN "BANG". THE FOLLOWING MORNING I DISCOVERED WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN. HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHILE THIS HAPPENED IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE SHREDDING OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THE REASON I OWN VOLVO IS PRINCIPALLY DYE TO IT'S REPUTATION FOR SAFETY. IN FACT, VOLVO USES THE TERM SAFETY IN ALL IT'S ADVERTISING. THIS IS A GRAVE FLAW AND I ASK NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE WEATHER THIS IS A COMMON FLAW IN THE 2004 VOLVO XC70 AND OTHER VOLVO'S WITH THIS COIL SPRING. *TR
