Consumer Description

I SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD. THE CAR YAWED WILDLY BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT INJURY. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THE FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING PERCH HAD SEPARATED FROM THE BODY, ALLOWING THE SPRING TO LEAVE ITS MOUNT AND LOSE TENSION. HAD I BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SITUATION.
