NHTSA Complaint #11240641 — 2014 SUBARU FORESTER

IN LATE MAY 2019, I WENT OUTSIDE TO DRIVE MY FORESTER TO THE STORE. UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BUMPER, I FOUND PART OF A COIL SPRING, ROUGHLY A 1/2 TURN. I LOOKED AROUND A BIT, AND FOUND THAT IT HAD COME FROM THE DRIVER SIDE, REAR COIL SPRING, BOTTOM. THE SPRING AT THE BREAK WAS VERY RUSTY - BOTH THE FRAGMENT AND FROM THE BROKEN SPRING STILL IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 14 HOURS BEFORE I NOTICED THE SPRING FRAGMENT ON THE GROUND. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN ADULT DRIVEN AND NEVER ABUSED.
