| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving down the road at approximately 30 mph the coil spring from the left front of the car flew off. it nearly missed a car driving in the opposite direction and a pedestrian. apparently, the spring perch broke off the car allowing the spring to fly out. i have never heard of this problem with any other make and model of car. if this had happened at a higher rate of speed there may have been a death. the dealer claims this is a rare defect although research on the internet says it is very common. *jb |
