1 Front Suspension Coil Spring problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2001

This vehicle already had a recall #98s18. This obviously didn't fix the problem. The spring came out of the assembly and struck my fuel tank. In my opinion they should have replaced the leaf spring if it was not made correctly and not just put a bandaid on it. They broke even though this was supposed to fix the error. .

Failure Date: 02/08/2001
