| Description of the problem | 2006 mercedes benz e350. Coil spring failure. I had a rear coil spring fail in november 2010. Then, a 2nd coil spring failure @ 70mph, this time in the front. We were very fortunate to not have been involved in a collision, mbusa insists there are no service bulletins relating to coil spring failure. But to have 2 spring break within 6 months of one another, on different suspension locations strikes me as a possible chronic problem. |
