Malibu 6-cyl

Coil springs breaking on 1999 Chevrolet Malibu. I was standing outside one morning last year when I heard a large bang. Front coil spring broke and was rubbing up against the tire. Replaced it with a used strut. Last week found a broken spring in the rear while rotating tires. I went on-line and did a search and found that this has happened to many people and what is scary is that it has happened to some while driving, which immediately blows out the tire. Contacted a friend of mine that is a GM service manager, he had just gone through this problem with his nephews 1998 car. He told me that GM had no recalls on this. This is my sons car and I don't want him to become a statistic, to resolve it this safety issue.
