| Component | SUSPENSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The right rear suspension on the car collapsed sometime between 6/29/19 and 7/4/19. We did not put weight on the car. The coil spring just sheared somehow. The car has 76k miles on it and has been in mi for the last 3 years. The mechanic could not figure out how this happened, and we are frankly puzzled too. We are not the only ones who this has happened to. Https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t61866_ds789686 |
