Pontiac Grand Am Suspension Front Springs Coil Springs Safety Report | Aug 14, 2005
Reported on Aug 14, 2005
| I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 GRAND AM, AND THE COIL SPRING SNAPPED AND FELL WHICH RESULTED IN THE TIRE GOING UP INTO THE WHEEL WELL AND THE SPRING PUNCTURED MY TIRE! I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED HOME, I CALLED AROUND TO ALL OF THE PARTS STORES, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET A COIL SPRING FROM A GM DEALER, SO I WENT TO THE DEALER AND BOUGHT A COIL SPRING, WHICH THEY HAD IN STOCK BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN SELLING THEM QUITE A BIT(IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AROUND HERE). SO NOW I HAVE A TON OF MONEY WRAPPED UP IN THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE COIL SPRING. IF THE OTHER ONE BREAKS AND I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER NEW TIRE, I AM GOING TO BE VERY MAD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY HAPPENING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE, AND I AM LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T WRECK, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT FROM THESE SPRINGS BREAKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. | |
