Pontiac Grand Am Suspension Safety Report | Aug 15, 2003
Reported on Aug 15, 2003
| IT IS NOW SEPT. 2003, THE FIRST COIL SPRING BROKE AT THE TOP SECTION ( ONE RING FROM TOP OF COIL) BACK IN AUG. 2003(DRIVER SIDE). NOW THE SECOND ONE HAS BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. FROM WHAT INFORMATION I CAN GET FROM A FRIEND AT MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY HAVE SOLD 48-50 OF THESE SPRINGS BETWEEN MAY AND AUG 2003. THIS IS SAID TO BE A VERY UNUSUAL NUMBER OF SPRINGS TO BE REPLACED FOR ANY CAR. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, AND ALL THESE SPRINGS SEEM TO BE BREAKING AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT, I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST FOR A DEFECTIVE PART. CAN SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU | |
