Pontiac Grand Am Suspension Front Safety Report | Apr 29, 2010
Reported on Apr 29, 2010
| MY DAUGHTERS 99 GRAND AM HAS HAD BOTH FRONT SPRINGS BREAK APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR APART. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE CAR WAS TRAVELING FORWARD AT LESS THAN 25 MPH. THE BROKEN SPRING PUNCTURED THE TIRE AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED ON BOTH OCCASIONS. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY OCCURRED. NEW SPRINGS/STRUTS WERE INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW TIRES. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT REAR SPRING WAS CRACKED AND WAS ALSO REPLACED. NO OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE. I'M VERY GLAD THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED WHEN THESE SPRINGS BROKE. *TR | |
