Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While pulling out of my car port, i heard a loud noise. all of a sudden the front passenger side of my car fell. i proceeded to go to a auto repair shop not too far from my home to have the problem checked. while in route, right around the corner from where i live, my tire blew out. there was a weird smell and smoke coming from the front right tire. i was able to pull into a parking lot to wait for aaa to tow my car to a repair facility. thank the lord, i wasn't on the freeway when this happened. the right passenger spring broke and caused the tire to blow out. had to replace the coil springs, a tie rod and struts. *nm
