Consumer Description

LAST WEEK WENT IN TO GET NEW TIRES AND MECHANIC BROUGHT TO ME 2 LARGE PIECES OF BOTH MY FRONT COIL SPRINGS. THEY HAD BROKEN OFF BUT LUCKILY NOT IN A WAY THAT WOULD PUNCTURE THE TIRES. BOTH SHOWED RUST ON THE END OF THE SPRINGS WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE METAL. THEY WILL COST ME $500.00+ TO REPLACE. THIS WEEKEND HYUNDAI, ALSO MADE IN SOUTH KOREA, ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF THEIR VEHICLES DUE TO FAULTY FRONT COIL SPRINGS, ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER STATES, WHICH WE ARE. . I HAVE TRIED TO RESEARCH WHETHER KIA USED THE SAME SPRINGS BUT CANNOT FIND THAT INFO ONLINE. *TR
