| Description of the problem | I took my 2008 kia rondo for the annual wv state inspection today. The service technician told me that i have a broken front passenger side coil spring. He said that this could be dangerous if the spring should pop out of it's normal position. He said that the end of the spring could rupture the tire and cause a bad accident. I didn't notice any handling or noises that alerted me to this condition, so i don't know when it might have broken. I do not see any kia recalls for this condition. The vehicle has 112,500 miles on it. |
