| Description of the problem | On april 21, 2011 went to back suv out of my driveway when the front left tire went flat. After removing the tire found tire had a hole on inside wall of tire . This was caused by the coil spring protruding out. Upon further inspection found the coil spring broken. The car had to be towed to a repair shop. I feel very lucky this did not happen while driving at a high rate of speed. |
