BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. LEFT FRONT ROAD SPRING BROKE IN TWO APPROX. 1/2 COIL FROM BOTTOM. FAILURE WAS CORRECTED BY REPLACING BOTH FRONT SPRINGS. SPRINGS ARE AVAILABLE. RUST EXTENDS APPROX. 1 MM INTO FRACTURE INDICATING SPRING WAS CRACKED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE. INTERNET SOURCES (INCLUDING NHTSA) INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AFFECTING NUMEROUS 2001-2004 VOLVO XC70S (AKA V70XC). SOME FAILURES ARE REPORTED TO HAVE OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS OF THE FAILED SPRING CUTTING OPEN A TIRE. VOLVO IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT, INCREDIBLY, TAKES THE POSITION THAT SUDDEN SPRING FAILURE IS NORMAL AND REPLACING BROKEN ROAD SPRINGS IS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION (AND ORDER A RECALL) BEFORE THIS DEFECT MAIMS OR KILLS SOMEONE. *TR
