| Front Suspension Coil Spring problems |
Left front strut/coil spring broke in half while driving. Cause was attributed to extreme rust. Vehicle was a 2002 year model with 45,000 miles. Not covered under warranty and dealer did not consider rust-induced failure to be abnormal. Could have been catastrophic!.
