Consumer Description

TWO DAYS BACK WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TAKE MY CAR OUT I HEARD SOME DIFFERENT SOUND.. THEN I STOPPED CAR AND OBSERVED THAT IT IS FLAT TIRE.. I TOOK THE TIRE OUT AND OBSERVED THAT THE TIRE GOT CUT BECAUSE THE SHOCK COIL SPRING GOT BROKEN INTO TWO AND THE SHARP EDGE OF THE SPRING IS CUTTING THE TIRE.. LUCKILY IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY .. A DAY BEFORE THAT I VISITED SANT CRUZ WITH FAMILY ( WIFE AND TWO KIDS ).. IF IT WAS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HELPLESS SITUATION.. I REPLACED ALL THE STRUTS AND SHOCKS ON NEXT DAY BY TOWING THE VEHICLE. TIRE HAS MORE THAN THREE CUTS.. I AM NOT SURE FROM HOW LONG THE SHARP EDGE SPRING WAS TOUCHING THE TIRE.
