Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Took vehicle in for service, and technician found that both rear springs were broken. i was unaware of this damage, though i had noticed some suspension noise when turning. also, the handling of the vehicle was much "looser" in the rear. technician informed me that the springs could further deteriote and the body of the vechicle could collapse onto the chassis. the estimate for repairs was $750.00, though no repairs have been made to date.
