coil spring for struts broke

Had to replace the strut, coil spring, all seals and mounting on the passenger side which cost over $250.

Had to order the coil spring from dealership which took 3 days to get it. Also the seals had to purchase from dealership. For this Trail Rated Patriot they don't make the whole assembly.

Its really hard to believe a pot hole could break the coil with it being rated as a off road vehicle.
