Consumer Description

AT AROUND 72,000 MILES, BOTH FRONT SPRINGS BROKE. AS ONE OF THE ATTACHED PICTURES SHOWS, A VERY SHARP END OF ONE OF THE SPRINGS WAS LESS THAN 2 INCHES AWAY FROM A FRONT TIRE. BAD SPRINGS ON THIS CAR ARE A KNOWN SAFETY ITEM FOR NHTSA, BUT ONLY IN WHAT ARE CALLED "SALT STATES" - PLACES WHERE THEY USE SALT ON THE ROADS. THAT IS SIMPLY WHITEWASHING THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT LIVE IN A SALT STATE, NOR HAS THIS CAR EVER BEEN IN ONE IN WINTER. NHTSA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
