FRONT DRIVER COIL SPRING BROKE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING BROKE OFF MY 2001 VOLVO XC70. THE COIL SPRING JUST SPLIT AND YOU COULD HEAR A LOUD CLACKING NOISE. THE COIL SPRING COULD HAVE RUPTURED MY TIRE BUT THANKFULLY MY FAMILY AND I WERE OK. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, IT TURNS OUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF FORUMS THAT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COIL SPRING SNAPPING ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VOLVO XC SERIES. FORD ALREADY HAD CALLED A RECALL ON THEIR SPRINGS DUE TO CORROSION AND I'M WONDERING IF VOLVO RECEIVED THE SHIPMENT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE SNAPPED SPRING IF THEY COULD PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR
