“The driver side coil spring broke on the lower end of the spring. It started to sound squeeky after a change in the road or a bump. 2 years ago, the right (passengers) coil spring broke in the middle of the spring on a main highway going 60miles/hr in another state from where we live. The car needed towed then and replaced. I filed a report with you then. No one was hurt either time but could have been. The springs have been on back order....2 years ago we couldn't get a replacement because they were on back order for 2 years then and needed to get a backup from a juck yard to replace. …”
