| Description of the problem | Noise and rubbing occurred while backing car out of driveway. Discovered left front coil spring broken and rubbing on tire causing damage to tire, dealer replaced coil under extended warranty and advised us to replace tire . This car did not arrive home the nite before this way as it was very obvious something was very wrong . The dealer wrote it off as normal wear and tear and said other side was fine . After reading other histories they will be hearing back from me ! In my opinion if this happened at road speed it would have taken out the tire, no if's and's or but's about it . It would not have been pretty as the broken end was dug into the tire. Can we say class action ? Where do we start ? Btw this car is serviced by the dealer only and properly taken care of ! |
