Consumer Description

FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND PUNCTURED TIRE. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY ON TO THE MAIN ROAD WHEN THE SPRING BROKE AND CONTACTED THE TIRE MAKING A HORRENDOUS GRINDING NOISE THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE STREET. MY CAR WAS AFFECTED BY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS SEEN BY A DEALER ON MARCH 14, 2016 FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER :15V-629. IT SEEMS THE RECALL WASN'T ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE COIL SPRING FROM FRACTURING A PUNCTURING MY TIRE. I AM GLAD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON INTERSTATE AT 75MPH.
