problem #1

Feb 042004

Sable 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,220 miles
While attempting to move my car. I put it in gear and heard a big clunk, the car dropped on the left and I heard my tire blow out. It was the left front coil spring, when it broke the broken spring stabbed my tire. I am sure that if I had been driving down the road, this would have caused quite an accident. Not only was this a big expense for me to fix. I am afraid to drive my car, because I can't help but wonder about the other (right) side and also the back springs. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to stay safe in my vehicle? please respond. Thank you. Sharon kitchen.
