1 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen

Failure Date: 07/11/2016

Spring failed on pass front strut at highway speed, smooth road, causing tire to blow-out and wheel bearing to fail. Family in car including 6 week old. Barely could control car to safe stop. Lucky. Repairs will run over $1500. Dealer informed us that many vw and Audi cars are experiencing this, that they are worried and have informed vw they have a problem. He showed me three other failed springs. I kept mine. It has no signs of corrosion prior to failure - metal fatigue probably related to bad metallurgy, according to my dad who's an engineer. Classic spiral fracture. Had to have car towed to vw dealer 150 miles from home - rent car for 2 weeks until repaired.
