Mazda Tribute owners have reported 2 problems related to front suspension coil spring (under the suspension category).
I was driving home and the front coil spring broke{the top portion} when it broke it blew out my tire and loged a piece of it in between the brake rotor some how tearing the tire to bits. And then apx a month after that the other one broke luckily it di not do the same damage as the first time. So because of the cheaply made and wrongfully heat treated metal the spring broke. Which cost me a tire of 165. 00 and to replace th spring at the cost of 273. 69
this should be a recall because someone is going to die after looking in to it Ford explorer,and the escape which is the exact same as the Mazda I found this has been a issue for alot of people. A sping of all parts of a car shouls never break like this. This could have and should have been prevented by not over heating the steel that the spring was made out of the is clearly neglect on Ford manufacturing and needs to be addressed before someone dies. Because I was able to maneuver my car so I didn't hit anyone or anything the next person may not be so lucky. . . .
