2 week ago she heard a noise, and 2 days ago heard same noise, but more intense while pulling out of her driveway. Pulled off the tire, and a piece of the spring fell off. It was very corroded. Had to get it towed to dealer. The front springs were in a recall, and they were fixed. Called manufacturer and they will not offer to help.
