ON NOVEMBER 3, 2004, UPON LEAVING WORK, I NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM MY LEFT FRONT END. I PULLED OVER IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK PLACE, BUT UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. I PROCEEDED TO THE RINKE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP IN WARREN, MI. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED A CURSORY CHECK AND DETERMINED THAT THE STRUT (AND POSSIBLY) THE SPRING WAS BROKEN. AFTER VERIFYING WITH HIM THAT IT WOULDN'T BE DANGEROUS, I CONTINUED TOWARD HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY TURN-OFF, MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. I MADE IT HOME AND CALLED AAA MICH; THE DRIVER WHO CAME TO CHANGE MY TIRE INFORMED ME THAT THE COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN. ON NOVEMBER 4, 2004 , I TOOK MY CAR TO NOONAN PONTIAC FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING, STRUT, MOUNT, SPRING AND SEAT WHICH RESULTING IN A TOTAL CHARGE OF $614.23 (MINUS DISCOUNT). I RETAINED THE OLD PART. I REPLACED THE TIRE AND ALIGNMENT SEPARATELY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH BRAKES ON THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT SAFELY. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED VEHICLE WOULD HAVE WENT INTO A TAIL SPIN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY SERVICE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT REPORTED TO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP .*AK
