Owner Complaints (4)
Your front suspension springs disconnected from the struts and dropped, puncturing your passenger-side front tire and causing that side of your vehicle to sag to the ground. The left front spring also broke, and the right springs were tearing a large gash in the tire. You may hear banging and grinding noises while driving due to a broken left strut and strut bearing, and your windshield wipers may make noise when set to intermittent mode. The suspension components (springs, struts, and bearings) will need to be inspected and replaced.
