| Description of the problem | Front coil spring broke and punctured tire. I was pulling out of my drive way on to the main road when the spring broke and contacted the tire making a horrendous grinding noise the car was difficult to steer and i had to stop in the street. My car was affected by a recall for this problem and was seen by a dealer on march 14, 2016 for nhtsa campaign number :15v-629. It seems the recall wasn't enough to prevent the coil spring from fracturing a puncturing my tire. I am glad this didn't happen while i was on interstate at 75mph. |
