Description of the problem | The front spring broke while going at a low rate of speed. The car was completly undrivable and if it was going at a higher rate of speed could have had major problems. This happened 113 miles after the car was at the dealers for a recall that replaced the sub frame mounts for the part that supports the engine and transmission. I feel that while making repairs they cracked the spring, or that springs are made of sub standard materal. |
