I was driving on the interstate highway when the left front spring broke which was like an explosion. This caused lots of other damage to the car as well as the tire.

While driving at approx. 10 MPH I heard a loud bang on the morning of 4-24-06. I came to a stop thinking I had hit something in the road. I looked around the back of the car and noticed part of the coil spring on the ground. I knew exactly what it was because the passenger side broke on 4-6-06. If at either time I would have been driving at any substantial speed it could have caused a major accident.
