| Description of the problem | The rear spring broke. It appears the plastic coating on the spring became brittle and allowed the salt spray from the winter roads into the spring which rusted and broke. This care has only 63k miles on the odometer. I noticed a noise when driving so inspected and found the spring broke. |
