Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Left & right rear leaf springs have broken in half. dealer has admitted that they are having a problem with these. they agreed to split the cost with me 50-50. however, i feel there needs to be a recall on this item. i know of 3 other people that have had this same problem that live here in the salem/bloomington area. the failure date/milage i listed is incorect.. since i have no idea when the springs actually broke... i noticed it while looking for a squeeking noise i was hearing. thanks! *ak
