What owners wrote
Right rear coil spring broke while car was parked. Car has only 43,000 miles and has never been used for towing, off-roading, and no accidents.
During routine 45000 car maintenance (oil change, tire rotation, brake inspection) the technician discovered that the rear driver's side coil spring had rusted away from its' retaining brackets (top and bottom) and was hanging loose around the shock absorber and could be wiggled or rotated by hand. Initial cost estimate is $1300.00 to replace both springs. The car is unsafe to drive until it is repaired.
