Consumer Description

NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING WAS CORRODED AND BROKEN. THE CORROSION OCCURRED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPRING AND THE BROKEN PIECE WAS STICKING OUT OF THE STRUT ASSRMBLY AND WAS POSSIBLY A TIRE PUNCTURE HAZZARD. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS MODEL SAAB BUT IS NOT COVERED BY GM SPECIAL COVERAGE #15917 BECAUSE THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES TO 2003-2006 MODELS. WHY NOT GM??
