I just filed a complaint, odi# 10234547, 2 days ago on the front strut spring breaking without notice and after replacement of the front struts, I took the car to a local repair shop for an alignment and nys inspection. I receive a call from the mechanic stating that he cannot do the alignment and inspection because both rear strut springs are broken. This car has less than 20k miles on it. This is obviously a defect in the steel used to manufacture these springs. . . . . With many, many complaints filed. . . . . Yet no recall. . . . It will continue to happen to these cars and the pontiac grand am, which is basically the same car. Will tragedy have to strike a determined amount of families before the investigation into these strut springs is reopened? I hope not.
