Front and rear coil springs snapped while sitting at my residence. The rear broke last year and the front broke yesterday, 11/20/2008. Had to replaced both front and rear springs plus a tire in the front that was punctured when it snapped. I just purchased all new tires a month ago. This could have cause a major accident if it had happened while driving.
