| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Without any memory of hitting any bad potholes or anything else that could have compromised the suspension. while sitting in line to pick up the children at school the top support on the coil spring gave away, releasing the spring and causing the front of the car to strike the ground. upon the inspection of the coil spring supports at a garage it was determined that the opposite coil spring has been 3/4 compromised, resulting in the replacement of both coil spring mounts. the results of the failure could have been catastrophic had it occurred on the interstate at 70 mph. *jb |
