I hit a pot hole with my 2004 vw Jetta tdi (I bought this car brand new and it has never been in an accident). When I turned the corner I heard a "popping" sound. Drove it to a nearby mechanic. The closet vw dealer is 70 miles away. The spring on the driver side was broken. The mechanic said that this is a manufactures defect as he has never seen a spring break like that. There was erosion in the spring. I still have the spring. Replaced at $347. Contacted the vw dealership. They first tried to brush me off saying they didn't see the pot hole etc. Eventually they gave me the vw headoffice phone #. Brushed off there too as it's out of warranty. It's not the warranty. It's a faulty spring that was placed in my car. It also ruined the shock.
