| Description of the problem | Broken left front & left rear coil springs. I don't believe this was created by running over anything. Service associate blamed it on rust due to snow, ice, debris build up. Hard to believe a coil spring will rust through in 8yrs. It appears vw has had other issues with coil springs on vehicles. I checked with an independent mechanic & he agreed they were broken. Front wheels are out of alignment & squeal when lightly pressing on brake. Car can't be aligned until repair is made. |
