Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving on the highway to work in the morning on a clear and dry day. all of a sudden my vehicle jerked to the left and it was out of control. i managed to pull off to the side of the highway and my tire was ruptured. after getting the car towed, the dealer let me known now that the left front spring broke and punctured the tire. not only was this a very dangerous situation, but the repair is very costly, not to mention i had just gotten new tires a few thousand miles prior to the incident. i have heard this complaint before and now wonder if this could or should be a recall item??*jb
