#701108December 4, 1998
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF THE COIL SPRING SHIELDS ADDED TO CATCH THE COIL SPRING WHEN IT FRACTURES. THE SHIELDS ADD AN ADDITIONAL PLACE FOR ROAD SALT TO COLLECT WHICH WILL HASTEN FAILURE. IT WAS ALSO NECESSARY TO CUT THE INNER FENDER TO ALLEVIATE RUBBING BETWEEN THE SPRING SHIELDS AND THE INNER FENDER. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT A SPRING FAILURE WILL RESULT IN THE SUSPENSION COLLAPSING AND CAUSE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DUE TO THE TIRE CONTACTING THE SUSPENSION AND INNER FENDER.

THE DEALER TOOK MY NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDED IT TO AN ALREADY LONG LIST OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. APPAIRENTLY THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE VEHICLES OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NON- WORKING SPEEDOMENTERS.
